With a special interest in exploring the malleability of space, New York City-based Korean artist Do-Ho Suh has become known for his site-specific installations that question the boundaries of identity. In a recent exhibition at 21st Century Museum of Contemporary in Kanazawa, Japan, filmmaker Nils Clauss captured some of Suh’s most notable works, including a full-size model of Suh’s apartment – the “Perfect Home.” The hand-sewn replica was shown alongside a suspended model of a 19th-century home made for a Korean emperor, depicting Suh’s depart from his homeland, and other contemporary works, all of which explore the relation between individuality, collectivity and anonymity within the built world.
