Elmgreen & Dragset

Right into wrong / powerless structure

2003

A wooden structure rendered in ink sits atop a metal trolley, creating a tension between the static and the mobile, the fixed and the transient. The collaborative duo Elmgreen & Dragset explore themes of displacement and institutional power through this deceptively simple construction, inviting the viewer to question the stability of systems and structures. The work's title, *Right into Wrong / Powerless Structure*, underscores the artists' ongoing interrogation of authority, functionality, and the vulnerability embedded within everyday objects.
