Elmgreen & Dragset

Marriage

Two identical porcelain sinks are joined side by side, their shared plumbing intertwining in an intimate, domestic embrace. The paired fixtures are reflected endlessly in facing mirrors, multiplying the image of coupling and cohabitation into infinity. Through these mundane bathroom objects, Elmgreen & Dragset explore the rituals, routines, and quiet negotiations that define a shared life together.
