In October I visited The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House at the Tate Modern. Throughout the exhibition, I was made to question what “home” really means. Is it a place, a feeling, something we carry with us? The exhibition explores that relationship between architecture, space, the body and memory. My favorite part of the exhibition was walking through Suh’s colourful mesh sculptures! Aside from just being colourful and immersive to explore, these see-through rooms and buildings captured the essence of nostalgia, preserving past memories and experience.
As well as the large installation, there were smaller works of illustrations and videos. The artist shares his life of travel between Seoul, New York and London homes, Inviting us into his memories and the spaces they occupy. I left the exhibition considering how identity is shaped not just by where you are, but by the spaces you carry with you.
