Home Within Home Within Home Within Home Within Home (), by Korean artist Do Ho Suh, at the MMCA Seoul
&#;This huge fabric installation of Do Ho Suh entitled Home Within Home Within Home Within Home Within Home is specially created to epitomize the vital spatial property of Seoul Box that can be undeniably characterized by its abundant natural light coming through its glass walls and the historical attribute of the Seoul branch&#;s compound in which traditional, modern and contemporary buildings embrace each other. This work is comprised of a life-size (12 meters in height, 15 meters in width) replica of the three-story town house at Providence, Rhode Island, which was the artist&#;s first residence where he lived as a student in the United States in and &#;Seoul Home,&#; a reproduction of his family&#;s traditional-style Korean house in Seoul, hanging in the middle of the former. As one can infer from the title, the work elucidates and conjures the ever-expanding concept of space: traditional Korean house within Western-style house; Western-style house with Seoul Box; Seoul Box within the Seoul branch; the Seoul branch within Seoul.&#;

This newer work evokes a similar piece from , titled &#;Home Within Home Within Home Within Home Within Home,&#; which placed replicas of Suh&#;s former living spaces within one another, from his first house in South Korea to an apartment building in Rhode Island.
Often using his own experiences as source material, Suh&#;s multi-media practice explores both the physical and metaphorical understandings of home as he considers the ways people occupy structures in specific times, locations, forms, and histories. &#;The spaces we inhabit also contain psychological energy, and in his work, he makes visible those markers of memories, personal experiences, and a sense of security, regardless of geographic location,&#; a statement about his practice
