Delay of Game (Manual) C

A gelatin silver print by Matthew Barney, *Delay of Game (Manual) C* encapsulates the artist's signature fusion of ritual, sport, and bodily transformation through stark black-and-white photography. The work is housed in a frame crafted from Barney's signature prosthetic plastic, a material recurring throughout his practice that evokes themes of constraint, augmentation, and sculptural possibility. Together, the image and its unconventional framing exist as a unified object, blurring the boundaries between photograph and sculpture.
