From the very first visual impact, visitors are confronted with Rubbing\/Loving Project: Seoul Home<\/em> (2013\u20132022), a replica of his former house \u2013 a Korean hanok<\/em> \u2013 covered in mulberry paper rubbed with graphite to capture textures, contours, the marks of life. It is as if memory itself materialises, oscillating between the tangible and the ethereal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The exhibition continues with Nest\/s<\/em> (2024), a walkway of interconnected rooms\u2014each made from translucent polyester stretched over metal frames\u2014where switches, handles and tiles recreate the spaces Suh has inhabited: from Seoul to London, New York and Berlin. It is a journey through his architectural memory, through the symbolic womb that defines us. Then, Perfect Home: London, Horsham, New York, Berlin, Providence, Seoul<\/em> (2024) offers an almost ghostly white interior where household objects are stitched in colour onto the walls: an emotional map punctuated by knobs and sockets that identify places and times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The intimate dimension intertwines with the visually captivating, resulting in an experience charged with emotion and memory. Seemingly everyday elements are transformed into monuments of nostalgia, inviting us to reconnect with our own personal journeys. The architectural replicas in fabric, paper and graphite act as metaphors for the act of migrating, rebuilding and persisting, carrying with them the weight\u2014and the beauty\u2014of the past.<\/p>\n

The exhibition also features works on paper, videos and drawings\u2014less spectacular but equally revealing\u2014such as the Bridge<\/em> project, an interdisciplinary experiment imagining the \u201cperfect home\u201d located, perhaps, in the Arctic Ocean, equidistant between the cities where he has lived. “It is a visual meditation on home that touches both the common and the profound”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As the images show, Walk the House<\/em> not only revisits a fragile chromatic repertoire, but also acts as a visual chronicle of what it means to be displaced, to keep alive a bond with what has been lived, and to build a home wherever one may find oneself. For all these reasons, Suh\u2019s art poetically\u2014and urgently\u2014confronts the question: what do we do with home when we are no longer in it?<\/em> Food for thought.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t live in one place, I live in between places.\u201d Do Ho Suh<\/h2>\n

The exhibition can be visited at Tate Modern until 26 October 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About Do Ho Suh<\/h6>\n

Do Ho Suh<\/em> (Seoul, 1962) is one of the most influential contemporary artists of his generation, recognised for transforming the personal into the universal through monumental installations that explore memory, migration and the notion of home.<\/p>\n

Trained in Fine Arts at Seoul National University and later at the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University, his career reflects his own life\u2019s journey across Korea, the United States and Europe. His works, created in translucent materials such as fabric or paper, recreate domestic spaces and architectures the artist has inhabited, turning them into emotional and poetic landscapes that invite viewers to reflect on identity, displacement and the invisible traces of everyday life.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy memories inhabit the architectural pieces I create. They are physical, but also psychological and metaphorical.\u201d Do Ho Suh<\/h2>\n
