Do Ho Suh:Passage/s
Do Ho Suh is a famous Korean sculptor and installation artist. His installation reflects the idea of home as both a physical structure and a lived experience. He wants to showcase the boundaries of identity, migration and the connection between the individual and the groups across global cultures he faced, as he has developed roots in multiple countries. The installation has been created from stitched planes of translucent, jell-like colored polyester fabric. Suh has lived globally, areas include Korea, New York, Berlin and London. All the cities have been
color coded.
"I see life as a passageway, with no fixed beginning or destination. We tend to focus on the destination all the time and forget about the in-between spaces." - Do Ho Suh
"We tend to focus on the destination all the time and forget about the in-between spaces. But without these mundane spaces that nobody really pays attention to, these grey areas, one cannot get from point a to point b."
