Cat photographed Do Ho Suh’s drawing studio in London earlier this year in the run-up to “The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House” at Tate Modern. Supported by his accomplished and inspiring team, including Tate curators Nabila Abdel Nabi (Senior Curator, International Art) and Dina Akhmadeeva Assistant Curator, International Art), he continues his exploration of home, memory, identity and how we move through and inhabit the world around us.

The title ‘Walk the House’ is drawn from a Korean expression Suh heard during the construction of his childhood home in Seoul referring to the hanok – a traditional Korean house that could be disassembled, transported and reassembled at a new site, a process imagined as ‘walking the house’. Reflecting this idea of a transportable home, Suh’s immersive works examine the relationship between architecture, the body and memory, as well as how we carry multiple places with us across space and time.

Documented as part of a year-long project for Hyundai Artlab.
Presented in partnership with Tate as part of #GenesisArtInitiatives.
