Do Ho Suh: Walk the House – A Journey Through Memory, Belonging & Space at Tate Modern
Running until October, The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh – Walk the House brings a landmark survey of the Korean-born, London-based artist’s work to the city for the first time in over a generation.
Spanning three decades of practice, this major solo exhibition invites visitors to experience the full range of Suh’s immersive installations, delicate drawings, sculpture, and video.
At the heart of the show lies a question both timely and timeless: Is home a place, a feeling, or an idea? Through large-scale works that reflect the artist’s journey across Seoul, New York, and London, Suh explores themes of memory, identity, collectivity, and displacement. His translucent, life-sized fabric structures – replicas of the homes he’s lived in – create an emotional and architectural space where visitors are encouraged to wander, pause, and reflect.
The title Walk the House is drawn from the concept of the “hanok”, a traditional Korean home designed to be disassembled and reassembled. In Suh’s hands, this idea becomes a metaphor for belonging, as his work examines the fluid boundaries between the body and the built environment, between presence and memory.
Alongside early installations and intricate works on paper, the exhibition debuts new and site-specific pieces created especially for this show. With each room, passage, and threshold, Suh invites us to consider how we move through space – and how space, in turn, shapes us.
The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh – Walk the House will run until 19 October 2025 at the Tate Modern in London.
