"Ragnar Kjartansson is a musician, actor and an artist. As for his motivation, he says: “Art is for me like the Blues: I use it to purify my soul. Maybe I’m a romantic on a hungry pursuit for the ultimate art kick.” This is what distinguishes him: one who loves the show element, constantly slipping into new roles, changing his identities and realities, will basically always remain authentic. Wherever Kjartansson is at any one time, is also where his stage is". (Christian Schoen, CIA.IS – Center for Icelandic Art)
