Do Ho Suh creates detailed, intricate sculptures that defy our sense of scale and location. For example, a recent work, Fallen Star 1/5 (2008-09) in the exhibition Your Bright Future, dramatically depicts a traditional Korean scholar´s house crash landing into a replica of the building that housed Suh´s first American apartment. Fallen Star 1/5 is filled with hyper realistic objects handmade by Suh and his assistants to create the effect of a home that is actually lived in.
