Tomorrow

Elmgreen and Dragset presents us with the meticulously dressed (often from the V&A's collection) apartment of a fictional architect. The details of a complex life emerge through elaborate observation (theirs and ours) and contrivance, as they might in a skillfully written novel. Combining equal measures of voyeurism, historical reference and spacial storytelling, the various rooms act beautifully to illustrate the idea of "home" as embodiment of persona and living narrative.
