Do Ho Suh

Do Ho Suh is a sculptor and installation artist born in Seoul, Korea in 1962.

"Do Ho Suh leads an itinerant life, hopping from his family in Seoul (where his
father is a major influence in Korean traditional painting) to his work in New York.
Migration, both spatial and psychological, has been one of Suh's themes, manifested through
biographical narrative and emotionally inflected architecture. Best known for his
intricate sculptures that defy conventional notions of scale and site-specificity, Suh's
work draws attention to the ways viewers occupy and inhabit public space. Interested in
the malleability of space in both its physical and metaphorical manifestations, Do Ho Suh
constructs site-specific installations that question the boundaries of identity.
His work explores the relation between individuality, collectivity, and anonymity."
