Pharmacy
A fully realized pharmacy interior, meticulously constructed from industrial and everyday materials, transforms the white-cube gallery space into an eerie simulacrum of consumer healthcare culture. Elmgreen & Dragset's installation replicates the sterile, fluorescent-lit aesthetic of a modern drugstore with unsettling precision, inviting viewers to navigate the boundary between functional space and artistic illusion. The work critiques the commodification of health and wellness, using the pharmacy's familiar visual language to expose the seductive power of institutional design.
