The other day I thought about how beautiful was to watch this art installation/performance by Icelandic Artist Ragnar Kjartansson, this 9 channel installation is called "The Visitors" the lyrics are from a poem called "Feminine Ways" by Ásdís Sif Gunnarsdóttir. I’m sharing this video I found on you tube today because I got to see the whole video again and I payed attention to the lyrics on the poem and it was so enlightening!
I was lucky to see this show for the first time at “The Broad” in Los Angeles in 2019 and later on the Dallas Museum of Art in November of the same year, is so wonderful, please take a look at it, I hope you like it, the artist himself appears in the video next to some of his friends which are playing an instrument in a different room at the same house somewhere in Upstate New York, at some point they all get together but they keep playing and singing, is so wonderful.
Here is the poem:
(Which by the way reminded me of how I feel when i’m taking photos of my roses at the ocean, it really spoke to me)
“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”
