Epic Waste of Love and Understanding

Immerse yourself in the evocative world of Ragnar Kjartansson. This comprehensive book delves into the mind of one of contemporary art's most compelling voices, the Icelandic performance and multimedia artist renowned for his critical yet affectionate exploration of Western culture. Kjartansson's longform video installations, celebrated for their repetitive and endurance-testing nature, are just one facet of his diverse artistic output. This richly illustrated catalog accompanies a retrospective at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, featuring iconic pieces like "Me and My Mother" and "Bliss", along with three new works created specifically for the exhibition.
