Home Within 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.

Home Within Home (1/9 Scale)
In ‘Home Within Home’, a 1:9 recreation of Suh’s childhood hanok home in Seoul nestles inside a 19th century house of rented apartments in Providence – the first place Suh lodged in the US as a student. To create the work, Suh used architectural tools that could measure, 3D-scan, shrink and combine the two existing buildings. He cut the structure into quarters to reveal the differences between them. ‘Home Within Home’ belongs to an ongoing body of artworks Suh calls “speculative”. It is connected to a recurring dream in which Suh’s childhood hanok home flew over the Pacific Ocean and crashed into the Providence building, trailing an emergency parachute. The buildings are in constant architectural negotiation with one another. It is unclear whether the hanok is growing from the interior of the house un the United States, or has been transplanted in it.
