The Ellie Project

Do Ho Suh’s work has always felt like walking through memory — weightless, personal, precise. His new exhibition at Tate Modern is no exception.

From full-scale fabric recreations of his past homes to thread drawings sewn on handmade paper, every piece holds the tenderness of lived space.

Don’t miss (well, you can’t miss it) Nest/s, the translucent corridor installations that feel like ghosts of architecture which are stitched together in sheer pastel fabric with astonishing detail.

There’s also an intimate look at his process: the rubbings, the stitching, the translation of private spaces into shared experience. It’s a show about home, displacement and how we carry the places we’ve lived, even after we’ve left.

Make time for the video works tucked away at the end I found them poetic and quietly moving. It’s 24 minutes long, but a must-see. It goes into detail about his constantly evolving Bridge Project — a speculative exploration by Suh, imagining his ‘perfect home’.

I was so disappointed to miss @dohosuhstudio‘s exhibition at the MCA in Sydney a couple of years ago, but thrilled it made it to the Tate. I’ll definitely be back with the little ones (although I got told off for getting too close in the works on press day, so I imagine security will be a lot tighter when it opens to the public).
