THE GENESIS EXHIBITION: DO HO SUH “WALK THE HOUSE”

Do Ho Suh’s first major solo showing of his work in London will be presented by Tate Modern.

Suh’s immersive works examine the relationship between architecture, space, the body, and the memories that make us who we are. Walk the House’ is drawn from a Korean expression referring to the hanok – a house that could theoretically be disassembled, transported and reassembled at a new site.

While Suh’s practice is rooted in his own experiences, it welcomes viewers to fill the works both physically with their presence and psychologically with their inner worlds. Visitors will be able to wander through his fabric architectures – translucent 1:1 scale replicas of spaces in which the artist has lived and worked.

The exhibition will run from 1 May – 19 October 2025.
