Ragnar Kjartansson, The Visitors, 2012 

I experienced it this weekend at the SFMoMA. Brought me to tears. One suggestion: stay to the very end, even when you think it is over. The dramatic way they walk the house shutting down the cameras one by one is profound! I started in the middle, so I was determined to watch the beginning, but a lot of folks left as the "porch crew" walked away into the hills. Not the end!

After 6 years, It still moves me to tears

This brought me to my knees this afternoon. It was so beautiful. 🥹

Please please please NEVER TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN! I saw this work live, and it is absolutely incredible. Sitting there live for the whole hour to see the plot unfold was one of the most surreal experiences of my entire life! Hope SFMOMA can bring in even more cool pieces like this!

SFMOMA today. Intense and haunting. Raw and timeless. Purging emotion. One of the best art experiences of my life. And it came out of nowhere. Just what was needed.

This was soooo incredible in person. The video doesn't do it enough justice but glad to see and hear it online!

Saw this at the Phoenix Art Museum, and it was the most beautiful thing my soul has ever experienced. People were laying on the floor with lovers, holding them, people were sitting everywhere, taking this in. My soul felt revitalized. It made me feel beautiful things. Made me feel sadness, sorrow, love, hope, strength. I'm so happy to see this here. It makes me feel so much, I want to cry.

Saw this at SFMOMA 6 or so years ago. Just saw it again at the Louisiana in Denmark today, sat through the full 64 minutes, and damn, it just doesn’t get old!!

I went to SFMOMA and saw this amzaing work! omg, i can't stop rethink it again and again, the music, the friendship, the last scene they are walking to a far place, the one who stopped the screen one by one. I really enjoyed it, thanks so much!

Sometimes I just watch this video. One of my favorite pieces I have seen in person.

I had the great fortune of seeing this piece in Boston at the ICA a few years ago, and I can honestly say that it changed my outlook on life. The multiple perspectives and discordant songs show the many different perspectives one can have on life, which continue to inform my view to this day

Had an opportunity to witness this incredible installation at the Louisiana Museum in Denmark yesterday. Amazing, absolutely amazing work!! Super interesting concept. The entire experience left me so emotional.

i saw this at the MFAH yesterday and words cannot express the feelings that it evoked within me. an intimate and beautiful moment

Saw this at SFMoma, it was mind shatteringly brilliant. I'm getting goosebumps and happy flashbacks just watching it again

I saw this at the Broad, and I was completely blown away. I had never seen anything like it. The atmosphere the installation creates is just so unique and enjoyable. It truly inspired me.

I saw this at the Broad Museum today and I loved this...really did deepen my love for music cx

Its so incredible to see mediums like this take centre stage in art. A lot of "art" artists I've met, and myself included as a voice, owe a lot of their outlets to not only to visual experiences but to sound and words. Art and music illustrate each other. This piece is lovely, it takes in the audience participation to build an environment, not directly contain the experience, let it weave through-out and dissipate, seep through back into it's own legacy made longer from what was captured.

I saw it in Madrid thyssen museum today. I was really impressed after one hour watching incredible paintures, this was like go to paradise. The end, and The man were also incredibles.

This work hit a chord with me -- so much so that when I walk by SFMOMA now, I still lean toward the entrance, hoping to go in and take the elevator up to the top for one more blissful session... and rats; it's gone. I forget that and regret that, and I wish it somehow became a permanent installation.

Experienced this work in August during my first visit to the SFMOMA. It would be incredible to see this piece presented at the MOMA in NYC on the East Coast. All of the Soundtracks exhibits​ was inspiring, breathtaking, and sensational.

Incredibleeee words cant describe how this made me feel when i saw it in person

saw this at The Broad two years ago -- stunning and cathartic

If you ever have the chance to see this, you MUST go!

I was able to visit this installation at least 4 times at the SFMOMA, one of my all-time favorites for that museum

They have their exhibit here in Calgary right now and it was a SURREAL experience. I wish I could’ve stayed a little longer inside the gallery. The feels, the nostalgia, the emotions. It’s beautiful work of art.

I saw it in Milan ...it was amazing...I couldn't get out of that space..

This video barely captures the fascinating piece that this is in its entirety. There were so many screens, so much more sound, so much more build. So many more rooms, musicians, layers, etc. But the snippet took me back. I could not get enough of this installation at the SFMOMA. One of my fave shows ever...

I saw this in New York. It was nice to hear again.

My son and I saw this in Boston when we were both going through hard times. It moved us and helped us through our pain. Beautiful.

It will take you out of yourself and to a wonderful place. I wished it would go on and on.

Absolutely beautiful!

I saw it in person in SF MoMA and was totally mesmerized. So were the people who were there.

amazing

I LOVE re-visiting this performance-installation-exhibition-event spectacle! And, yet, I do agree with "danielone" [below] that it felt far more epic when I viewed it in-person & live at SFMoma. Nonetheless, I'm this redux is 2nd-best.

Saw this at the Phoenix art museum on a school field trip

incredible

Amazing!

Как это прекрасно! Если вы в Москве приходите на ГЭС2 там отдельная комната с этим шедевром

I wish it was the full art work, please please release the full The Visitors! BluRay???? Where you can switch between the screens? Please

Full video online, search "kjartasson the visitors" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Visitors_(installation)

I want the whole thing!!! I'm a member, now that it's going away Jan 1 will sfmoma post it?

Are these guys federasts?

I get that these are Icelandic artists doing their thing in 2012, but I felt like it was peak "Stuff White People Like" when I saw it a decade later. But hey, art can still be good even if the emotion it evoked in my case was disgust. Gave me some good food for thought on whether I'm unfairly labeling people as pretentious and out-of-touch, and how I relate to the pain of those whom I see as different. Here's to hoping museums keep getting better at curating art for diverse crowds, including beret-wearing bohemians.

Alright, 5 seconds, I'm bored.
