The work My Mother by Ragnar Kjartansson shows a photograph of the artist's mother, Guðrún Ásmundsdóttir, which he took of her as a boy in 1983. Ásmundsdóttir, an actress, is the source of much inspiration for the artist and they have collaborated on the renown video series Me and My Mother since 2000. The edition was published in an edition of 40 on occasion of the exhibition “Me and My Mother” that was held at i8 Gallery in 2015.
