Do Ho Suh a Korean artist really inspired me, he achieved a BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design and a MFA in sculpture from Yale University. He is interested in the malleability of space in both it's physical and metaphorical manifestations. He creates installations specific to each site, his work explores the relation between individuality, collectivity and anonymity.
He has just completed his largest artwork to date, the piece called "Home within home within home within home within home" situated at Seoul's National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the installation represents two previous homes he lived in at 1:1scale, built with silk the structure gives the impression of a 3D blueprint.
The two homes splice traditional Korean homes with a modern apartment building from the United States, the piece is so large visitors can walk inside and explore it.
