Where are the oscars and emmys and grammys and tonys for everyone who made this masterpiece
And the fact this hasn't been taken down must be a sign from the great beyond that everyone needs to watch

A nine-channel 64-minute video piece filmed in one take of one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Inspired by his recent breakup with his wife, Kjartansson wrote the lyrics to this tune and scored it with a bunch of his Icelandic musician friends, some of whom are in the bands mùm and sigur ros. They rented the Rokeby Mansion in Upstate New York, living together, dining together, rehearsing, and hanging out, until they finally filmed the piece. Between Kjartansson playing the guitar in a bathtub, the decrepit and Baroque aesthetics of the environment, and the use of a canon as percussion, this work gives me absolute chills every time I encountered it. I had the privilege of working at the Hirshhorn when this was on view and would delight in seeing the guards and the public singing along to the catchy and repetitive tune. On closing day, the gallery was packed with people laying on the museum floor, singing along one last time.
Art can be such magic, and this piece captures it all. You can listen to a 30-minute version of the song online (highly recommend), but also, if you’re in a place where this is screening, clear your schedule.

🌩Sounds weird but look at the lights and shadows around you, where the shadows shift with the wind and where the light changes
Makes even led light halogen hell feel nostalgic, everyday just seek out a lil patch of light or shadow
