The Visitors

The Visitors features a 64-minute performance staged at Rokeby Farm in upstate New York. Kjartansson collaborates with a group of musicians, including notable Icelandic artists and family members of the farm's owners. Each musician performs in a separate area of the estate while connected through headphones, creating a cohesive ensemble experience.

The performance is described as a "feminine nihilistic gospel song," setting the lyrics from a poem by Ásdís Sif Gunnarsdóttir to music arranged by Kjartansson and Davíð Þór Jónsson. The film captures the fluidity of the musicians as they stop, start, and move between rooms, adding to the visual and auditory richness of the experience. The title references a 1981 album by the Swedish pop band ABBA, emphasizing the blend of contemporary and historical influences.
