As Prada Marfa Turns 20, Artists Elmgreen & Dragset Open Their Most Surreal Exhibition Yet

Artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, known for their iconic land art piece Prada Marfa, are opening a new exhibition titled “The Alice in Wonderland Syndrome” at Pace Gallery in Los Angeles. The show features surreal installations including a silicone gallery assistant asleep at her desk, men in VR goggles embracing, and circular sky paintings with mirrors, all presented at both full and half scale in two rooms. The exhibition draws inspiration from Alice in Wonderland syndrome, a neurological condition that distorts perception of scale, and continues the duo’s 30-year practice of transforming gallery spaces into immersive, humorous environments that challenge power structures.
