Staircase-III is one of a number of works Suh has made based on his personal memories of architectural spaces, both of his parents traditional Korean house in Seoul and his own Western-style apartment in New York. The space Im interested in is not only a physical one, but an intangible, metaphorical, and psychological one, he has said. Do Ho Suhs work features in Tate Moderns Collection Displays, 2011.
