Do Ho Suh: Speculations
Art Sonje Center
Seoul
For London-based Korean artist Do Ho Suh, “speculation” encapsulates contemplation, displacement, memory, and the interplay between individuals, communities, and the environment. Framed as a “process of speculation,” Suh’s retrospective opens with mixed-media installations from his eponymous Speculations series (2005– ), showcasing imaginative architectural diagrams, animations, and models that are realistically constrained by physical and logistical barriers. The section “Bridge Project” highlights Suh’s architectural imagination, connecting the cities he has lived in with the concept of home. The exhibition concludes with the chapter “Architectural Films,” exploring themes
of time, spatiality, and belonging through the eyes of disappearing communal housing complexes in London and Daegu.
