For Everything Within Your Home Within Home Home within home by do ho suh, installed at incheon international airport, is exactly that—a monumental, translucent structure that captures the viewer’s attention in an otherwise transient space. By meticulously measuring every inch of the apartment where he was residing and making a precise and detailed cast of it out of fabric as if designing a custom made dress for it, the artist defined a 'home' as one's intimate, 'clothing (skin) like space,' which could thus be a 'space of portability' allowing one to fold it up and carry it with.
For Everything Within Your Home Within Home Home within home, do ho suh stikes again with another full scale model but not for home appliances as before but for a complete home!. Korean artist do ho suh’s installations, sculptural works, and two dimensional pieces inspect the individual’s conceptualization and contextualization of home, migration, and memory, philosophizing on the impermanence of temporal and spatial conditions. This work is comprised of a life sized (12 meters in height, 15 meters in width) replica of the three story town house at providence, rhode island, which was the artist’s first residence where he lived as a student in the united states in 1991. His 2019 piece “home within home,” which is suspended from an atrium in incheon international airport in seoul, positions two structures vertically, with the larger polyester and steel construction on top.

The london based, korean artist suh recently exhibited “home within home” inside an atrium at seoul’s incheon international airport. the 2019 installation evokes many emotions; for the artist, he focused on “home, physical space, displacement memory, individually, and collectivity.”. While home for the immigrant becomes a space that they carry within themselves, we long to externalise it, manifest it in our physical surroundings, with objects, belongings and ideas that represent the ‘hometown’. The 2019 architectural sculpture is titled ‘home within home’. it comprises a pair of traditional korean hanok houses with curvy tiled roofs, made using a 3d scanner and built with blue, yellow and orange polyester fabric and stainless steel frames.
