Curated by Andrea Lissoni and Heike Munder
The Visitors (2012) is a large installation consisting of nine video projections on a scale of 1:1. It brings into play the relationships between live concerts, the tradition of performance, poetry, and immersive cinema, based on the repetition and circular nature of actions and settings.
When I first walked into this room at the Broad here in Los Angeles, I cried. I stood there in awe and I cried because I felt what it was to be a human, a man, an animal, alive, dead...all shades of this we are experiencing in the keys of music... THANK YOU FOR THIS
KidAInc i saw this yesterday at the Hirshhorn in DC i got the same feeling.
KidAInc I told my wife I wanted to cry! I was so moved by the people.
This installation is in Dallas, TX now. I did not know what I was walking into, but I was swiftly knocked off my feet when I did. So overwhelming. I got very choked up. Wound up going back and viewing it twice in a row. So mesmerizing.
I saw The Visitors yesterday at the Guggenheim Museum, in Bilbao, Spain. It was incredible, it made so many people stop in awe. I stayed in the room for an hour, it almost made me cry. It is a complete perfect work of art. Congratulations and thank you, Ragnar Kjartansson.
to me, this was the best piece of art at the Guggenheim. gave me goose bumps.
Ralph Delzepich I couldn't agree more, this is the most beautiful piece of art I've ever experienced. I was transfixed and had goosebumps. Felt tearful towards the end! :)
Sir Roops Guggenheim here too, I cried for real. Beautiful neosincerety for the win, irony has destroyed enough lives now.
. .. it made me cry *i* .. .
I was completely engulfed with this piece of art. I went back into the room 3 times because it was so intoxicating. Now, 5 days later, I am still thinking about this emotional piece. I loved it. I also got a little teary eyed during it all. Beautifully made.
I just saw this at SFMOMA with my daughter. It made my heart feel full, and my daughter loved it. Wonderful experience.
I saw this work in Boston at the ICA 3 years ago. I stumbled upon this piece with the girl I fell in love with when I was 18. We sat on the floor of this piece and cried together. It was the firs time I held her hand and the firs time we both felt vulnerable together. This is my favorite piece of art I have ever seen. Thank you for bringing this into the world, for showing a beatiful side of humanity.
I could see it at Guggenheim too. This opera is impressive. It produces sadness and happiness and sadness again. I would go back there just to see it again.
Just saw The Visitors at SFMOMA this afternoon. Good god. Congratulations. Here is art, done amazingly well. I'm happy you're doing what you're doing.
I saw The Visitors today at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I saw it in it's full entirety even sitting on the floor to do so. By the end of the performance, about 100 other people were in the room too, stone silent and some sitting on the floor with me. I cried often because it's easy to feel the pain in the performance. I just watched this in amazement and I enjoyed watching this UA-cam of Ragnar Kjartansson talking about the piece. Great work.
I saw The Visitors the summer of 2014 in Bilbao. And every now and then I think about that hour plus that didn't feel that long, but endless all the same. This is such a beautiful work of art.
This is one of the most beautiful works of art I have ever experienced - as music, film and interactive visual art - I have been completely taken into this rare experience and will feel connected to "The Visitors" forever. "There are stars exploding around you ...and there is nothing you can do" is always rolling through me. I want to be in the cradle of Hanger Bicocca in a time capsule to keep it always within me.
Bravo - Ragnar - This is a masterpiece equal to Christian Marclay's "Clock"
Saw this at The Broad in LA yesterday and haven't been the same since. Such a gripping and emotionally driven piece. I've never been brought to tears like that before.
+Iancarlo Santos And to think this was all in ONE TAKE.....
I cried too. I never really understood people who cried over art, but this piece....it just broke me in a way I didn't know I could be
Six visits during the show's run at the Hirshhorn in DC, including today, it's closing, and every viewing I saw and heard something new. Really powerful.
Saw this yesterday at the Dallas Museum of Art and it was so moving. Never have I felt so connected through art.
I just saw this at the MOMA in SanFran a few hours ago. It blew me away. Had never heard of it or him, but I didn't want to leave.
I've seen this four times at SFMOMA. I have forgone looking at Gerhard Richter canvasses because I haven't had time to spend in those galleries. I wouldn't have thought that would be possible.
This show was so amazing I could have stayed for days! The voyeur nature of being in the midst of life happening around you was tremendous! The music took me there and I just felt so relaxed!
Ho visto l'"opera" due volte...ma vorrei rivederla ancora. Sono stato rapito dalla magia che Kjartansson è riuscito magistralmente a rapptesentare.
Grazie a Hangar Bicocca; grande regalo per i milanesi!!
Don't miss The Visitors at The Broad museum in L.A. It's an emersive experience. Each musician/instrument on a wall sized screen, with its own speaker. As you roam from room to room you get an intimate concert from each artist, isolated, yet part of the whole. I love this new museum. (Free admission too!)
I saw this "Visitors" piece at MOCA Cleveland and it was really awesome. Great presentation and set up for the viewing. The different personalities interacting separately but together on different screens was interesting to watch. I saw this from beginning to end and didn't even realize that it was over an hour. It sure doesn't feel like you're sitting there for very long when viewing. I wish that there was a downloadable audio version or something so that I can listen to it again.
Thank you very much for such a wonderful piece like this...great experience ....tears in my eyes, goose bumps, I was astonished, great job!!!!!!
I recently went to the broad. I have to say that this was the most beautiful, outstanding room. I loved how it was powerful and how it made you feel. I want to own this.
just saw it at the broad Los Angeles, great!
just saw it in London at Brewer Street carpark - incredible.
FEMININE WAYS
A pink rose
In the glittery frost
A diamond heart
And the orange red fire
Once again I fall into
My feminine ways
You protect the world from me
As if I’m the only one who’s cruel
You’ve taken me
To the bitter end
Once again I fall into
My feminine ways
There are stars exploding
And there is nothing you can do
poem by Ásdís Sif Gunnarsdóttir
Amazing piece. Made me feel emotionally drained afterwards, for sure. Also--the piano guy is hot. :)
There are stars exploding all around you, and there's nothing you can do
His music and some of his drawings reminds me of Damien Rice, anybody else? I can't comment on house, art, conceptions etc yet.
indescribable.
Saw it at the Hirshborn. Fucking awesome
Saw this today at The Broad in LA. One of the strongest music performances I've ever experienced. Completely amazing. Does anyone know if there's an mp3 of it to buy somewhere?
I'd love one too if there is... did you have any luck?
Nope :(
me neither... and I looooooooked.
Looks like itunes has a 22 minute version. I haven't downloaded it though.
Thank you!
God Kria was Soooooooooo Amazing in this.
Sarebbe bello ascoltarlo tutto. Su Soundcloud.
where can i get the song ???
osservare in profondità
Isn't this a parody of western artists in residences?
