It is an unforgiving and tempestuous dark and wet Monday as I scurry into Galerie Perrotin for an interview with Scandinavian art duo, Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset. From the cacophony and cold of the Hong Kong streets I step into the still, haunting silence of their monochromatic new exhibition, ‘The Old World’. The gallery floors and walls are painted black with white objects from the exhibition standing out in sharp contrast against the darkness. ‘The Old World’ looks like a surreal and eerie film set. It could be a scene from a Bergman film. A mix of theatricality and tension is exactly what the artists intended.
