Profoundly interested in notions of home, belonging and boundaries, Korean-born and London-based artist Do Ho Suh questions and interprets cultural, social and geographical displacement. In this show, Suh will present a three-channel video, Passage/s: The Pram Project, created by attaching three GoPro cameras to a pram and walking around London recording ambient sounds and images from his young daughter’s perspective.
