Film of the exhibition "Perfect House" of the artist Do Ho Suh, created by Nils Clauss, with some of the works displayed at the 21st Century Contemporary Art Museum.

The Korean artist Do Ho Suh is famous for creating real-size replicas of different intimate spaces with which he has a special connection. As he says in an interview for the Tate Modern:

"You experience life moving through a series of spaces."

With a particular interest in transitional spaces such as bridges, stairs and doors, elements that are both connection and separation, Suh's sculptures transform the place and the way visitors appreciate it. The fabric is transparent enough to allow to see the envelope space through the sculpture, so that spaces are seen by the visitor in a very different way, giving it a different quality.

This video shows some of the works of Suh displayed at the 21st Century Contemporary Art Museum in Kanazawa, Japan, under the name of "Perfect Home". Due to the fabric used for his installations, the work of Do Ho Suh may be difficult to capture without being physically next to it, even so, in this case, the video directed, shot, and edited by Nils Clauss, comes close to the real experience.

Do-Ho Suh (1962, Seúl, Corea) se graduó en pintura por la Escuela de Diseño de Rhode Island e hizo el Máster de Escultura en la Universidad de Yale. Mejor conocido por sus intrincadas esculturas que desafían las nociones convencionales de escala y especificidad de sitio, Suh llama la atención sobre la manera en que los espectadores ocupan y habitan el espacio público. Interesado en la maleabilidad del espacio, tanto en sus manifestaciones físicas como metafóricas, Do-Ho Suh construye instalaciones específicas para cada sitio que cuestionan los límites de la identidad. Su trabajo explora la relación entre la individualidad, la colectividad, y el anonimato.

En 2001, Suh representó a Corea en la Bienal de Venecia y posteriormente participó en la Bienal de Arquitectura de Venecia de 2010, la Bienal de Liverpool de 2010 y la Bienal de Gwangju de 2012. Do-Ho Suh fue nombrado Innovador del Año en el Arte por la revista WSJ Magazine (The Wall Street Journal Magazine) en el año 2013.

Su obra está presente en numerosas colecciones de museos de todo el mundo, incluyendo el MoMA, el Whitney Museum, y el Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, en Nueva York, Los Angeles County Museum of Art en Los Angeles, el Walker Art Center de Minneapolis, la Tate Gallery en Londres, el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo y el Mori Art Museum de Tokio, y el Museo Siglo XXI de Arte Contemporáneo en Kanazawa, entre muchos otros. El artista vive y trabaja entre Nueva York, Londres y Seúl.
