Explore the boundary-pushing world of Ragnar Kjartansson, an artist whose work sits at the intersection of performance, music, and painting. Born from a legacy of Icelandic theater and ancient sagas, Kjartansson uses the power of repetition and "visual poetry" to explore the profound beauty found in failure and sorrow. From his controversial collaborations with his mother to his month-long endurance performances, we examine how his isolated upbringing in the North Atlantic shaped a unique perspective that challenges the very definition of modern art.
