The Visitors
Ragnar Kjartansson (IS)
The elegiac video composition “The Visitors” is a hymn to romantic love and its bitter failure, an homage to one of the artist’s favourite bands: ABBA. Nine musicians and closest friends of Kjartansson’s have come together for “The Visitors”, but it is only in the exhibition space that their individual interpretations can be experienced simultaneously on nine video screens – as a utopian and fragile community.
