Overview

  • The solo exhibition, 'Walk the House,' runs at Tate Modern in London from May 1 to October 19, 2025, marking Suh's first major UK show in a generation.
  • The exhibition features life-sized, translucent fabric replicas of Suh's past and present homes, allowing visitors to walk through these architectural spaces.
  • New works like 'Nest/s' (2024) and 'Perfect Home' (2024) are presented alongside earlier installations, rubbings, and video art, showcasing Suh's three-decade career.
  • The title 'Walk the House' is inspired by the Korean hanok tradition of disassembling and relocating homes, a concept central to Suh's exploration of portability and belonging.
