Floor demonstrates many characteristic elements of Do-Ho Suh's broader body
of work. The artist uses installations to integrate his artwork with the
architecture of a gallery or public space. He has engaged the tensions
between collective action and individual identity in other pieces, using his
miniature figures to support a heavy stone pedestal or to form a tremendous
screen with their interlocking bodies. With residences in Seoul, Korea and
New York City, the artist also has considered ideas of "home" or displacement
in his works, including reconstructing 1:1 scale models of his apartment out
of nylon in gallery spaces. Do-Ho Suh uses Floor's subtle occupation of this
gallery, and scale displacement, to present a cross-cultural exploration of
personal and communal space.
