A large-scale retrospective of Korea's leading installation artist Do Ho Suh, spanning early works, major pieces on home and migration, and ongoing projects.

Step onto Floor and the glass under your feet is held up by countless miniature figures, arms raised, packed beneath the platform. You walk across it, which is the point. It is one of more than 500 works spanning three decades, from early sketches to Memory of Love, a coat made this year.
Galleries 3, 4 and 5 and the MMCA Studio hold the rest, including Nest/s, a 22-metre fabric run of rooms from Suh's homes in Seoul, New York, London and Berlin that matches no real building, and Perfect Home, a London flat down to its door handles, outlets and switches. Suh made his old flats' light switches in fabric; you still can't get the deposit back from your last one.
Tickets are 8,000 won. Online slots for the following week open Mondays at 6 p.m. and sell out almost at once; cancellations are released in real time, and a separate same-day quota is sold on site, with no choice of time.
Editor's pick
Floor is a glass platform held up by countless tiny figures with raised arms, and you walk on it. Nest/s runs 22 metres of fabric rooms from Suh's homes in four cities. Online slots sell out fast.
Look for
Floor
A transparent platform you walk across, with countless small figures beneath it holding it up.
Nest/s
A 22-metre fabric sequence of rooms from homes in Seoul, New York, London and Berlin, joined into a building that never existed.
Who Am I?
Tiny yearbook portraits fill a 15-metre-high space, forming patterns from a distance and individual faces up close.
Perfect Home: London, Horsham, New York, Berlin, Providence, Seoul
Suh's current London flat rebuilt in fabric, with door handles, outlets and switches taken from his other homes.
Memory of Love
A coat with pockets cut from his family's clothing sewn inside, holding objects they carried.
Good for
- Cheap Culture
- Evening Visits
- Nerding Out
Skip if
You want one tidy chronological retrospective: the curator deliberately built it as a non-linear, circular journey instead.
