Summary:The fully illustrated book features a pictorial autobiography compiled by Ragnar Kjartansson himself, and is designed by John Morgan studio. Clichés and motifs of Western culture, romantic melancholy and even his own conception, provide the personal and often playful subject matter of the artistʼs emotionally charged work. Also included are an introductory essay by Markús Andrésson, two commissioned essays by curator Kelly Gordon and Art Forum writer Jeffrey Kastner, as well as a new text by Canadian essayist and poet Anne Carson. Kjartansson draws on the entire arc of art in his performative practice. The history of film, music, theatre, visual culture and literature finds its way into his video installations, durational performances, drawing and painting.
