Suspended from the ceiling of the entrance hall of Moynihan Train Hall , the new train station in Manhattan, New York , the installation The Hive, by the duo Elmgreen & Dragset , offers a surreal and fantastical vision of a global metropolis turned upside down.

Approximately 100 aluminum skyscrapers reference iconic architectural silhouettes from Chicago, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, London, Paris and, of course, New York.

(Nicholas Knight/CASACOR)

Since 1995, artistic duo Elmgreen & Dragset have created sculptures and installations that encourage new perspectives on the structures and systems that govern our lives. Their works transpose and relocate everyday objects into unexpected arrangements and settings, often with subversive humor. The Hive is the artists’ first permanent public sculpture in New York.
