In The Perfect Home
In ‘The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House’, Korean-born, London-based artist Do Ho Suh invites visitors to explore his large-scale installations, sculptures, videos and drawings in this major survey exhibition.
Is home a place, a feeling, or an idea? Suh asks timely questions about the enigma of home, identity and how we move through and inhabit the world around us.
With immersive artworks exploring belonging, collectivity and individuality, connection and disconnection, Suh examines the intricate relationship between architecture, space, the body, and the memories and the moments that make us who we are.

Perfect Home: London, Horsham, New York, Berlin, Providence, Seoul (2024)
The outline of this work is based on a 1:1 form of the interior of Suh’s present home in London, following his migration here in the 2010s. Inside ‘Perfect Home’ reveals fixtures and appliances from multiple places Suh and his family have inhabited over the years. These light switches, doorknobs and other small elements of our dwelling spaces, touched constantly over time, contribute to our understanding of home. Almost subconsciously, we remember how to reach for these well-used items. Suh color-codes the objects based on their location or origin, and places them at their original height, resulting in a dizzling accumulation of places and time zones within the work.
