K6467

This immersive architectural installation by the South Korean artist Do Ho Suh was especially commissioned for Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. It shows the artist's home in New York, fully tailored in transparent fabric. Do Ho Suh's work expresses the notion of physical and cultural displacement, exploring issues around separation, longing and a sense of loss.
