What a beautiful place to seek shelter, assemble strength, and relish the company of friends.
A two-hundred-twelvemonth-old landmark in upstate New York—a romantic setting of bohemian décor and seductive atmospheres—plays host to The Visitors, a championship inspired by ABBA'due south concluding anthology earlier their breakup. Ragnar Kjartansson'due south band is an eclectic group. Viii musicians begin to play, each in a separate room (with the artist himself naked in the bathtub), recording their separate tracks in sync in a unmarried continuous session equally others play and sing on the porch. Mansion turns living museum; film set becomes multitrack recording studio.
Music can arouse desires and emotions just information technology tin can besides offering a retreat and prophylactic haven in moments of despair. Once again I fall into / My feminine means—the song'south lyrics, from a poem past Kjartansson's ex-wife, Ásdís Sif Gunnarsdóttir, revel in melancholy. With each refrain, emotions become deeper, building dense layers of past feeling, and a collective lament. On the 9 projection screens in this immersive video installation, threads of intimate views are woven into the lingering melody.
Incessantly repeating the same song signals a moment of emotional catharsis. The hour-long psychedelic loop slowly drifts toward a last motility, a gathering of friends and a communal walk out into the mansion'south open pastures, leaving this viewer with a sense of longing unfulfilled.
