Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson is heralded as one of the most distinctive contemporary artists working today. Drawing on Western musical and artistic themes, Ragnar Kjartansson: Mercy offers an adoring and satirical spin on literature, cinema and pop music.

Through eight new and recent video works such as his most recent Sunday Without Love (2025) and the universally-acclaimed The Visitors (2012), Kjartansson strikes a delicate balance between comedic irony and heartwarming sincerity, exploring themes of love, melancholy, masculinity and repetition.
