Elmgreen & Dragset: October 2025

Returning to MASSIMODECARLO Pièce Unique for their second site-specific intervention in this space, Elmgreen & Dragset create a meta-gallery within the gallery, blurring the line between fiction and reality.

For this exhibition, Elmgreen & Dragset present a hyperrealistic sculpture of a gallery assistant installed directly in Pièce Unique’s window, visible to anyone passing along rue de Turenne. Normally hidden behind the exhibition space, the gallery’s office is brought forward: a large desk occupies the front of the gallery, behind which the assistant slumps forward, apparently asleep.
