Elmgreen and Dragset express that "over the past 30 years... we've consistently created unexpected scenarios within and outside of the museum and gallery structure, often infused with playful mischief, while simultaneously providing searing critique and sincere expression in our work." Their emphasis is on how their art engages deeply with both public and private spaces, considering the communities that inhabit these areas.
As they reflect on their influences, they highlight their admiration for writers like Samuel Beckett, stating, "Our work often resonates with Beckett's themes, especially how he explores the human condition through the lens of isolation and interpersonal dynamics." They believe this literary perspective has fundamentally shaped their artistic voice.
