We have many definitions of the word “home.” But what is a home? Through his 2019 piece, titled “Home Within Home”, Korean artist Do Ho Suh explores both the physical and the metaphorical understandings of the word. His piece, which can be seen suspended from an atrium in Incheon International Airport in Seoul, is similar to his 2013 piece, titled “Home Within Home Within Home Within Home Within Home”.
“The spaces we inhabit also contain psychological energy, and in his work, he makes visible those markers of memories, personal experiences, and a sense of security, regardless of geographic location,” a statement about his practice says.
Suh is represented by Lehmann Maupin, and you can explore more of the artist’s architectural sculptures, installations, and smaller works on the international gallery’s site.
