Artist #4

Do-Ho Suh is a Korean Artist with a BFA and MFA in Oriental Painting. He is best known though for his sculptures that defy conventional notions of scale and site specifically, he draws attention to how a viewer occupies a public space. His work "Some/One" the floor is completely covered in polished dog tags, evocating that the individual soldier is part of a larger body. "Do-Ho Suh’s sculptures continually question the identity of the individual in today’s increasingly transnational, global society." One of his projects he replicated a fabricated version of his parents house because he wanted to be able to transport his home with him, like a snail. He has made several works where he makes a floor with several small human figures with their hands up like they are holding up something, people are then allowed to walk across this floor. Yet the figures do not have an expression like they are being oppressed like the work would suggest is its meaning. he leaves it up to the interpretation of the viewer.
