Gradually you have to get used to the fact that modern art no longer praises beauty and is not born out of beauty and admiration at all. More and more often, artists and sculptors, masters of collages and installations for creative exploits are driven by disappointment and fear, the economic and political situation in the world, and also by the desire to reach out to the consciousness of the mighty of this world, forcing them to see, and it is better to feel what is happening in the real world. Korean author by name Do ho suh became the author of very controversial installations, looking at which, everyone will think about something different. Do Ho Suh's works are called attraction installations, since everyone who comes to the exhibition participates in them. The involvement of the audience in the creative process is a kind of "trick" of this author. And the most famous "attractions" are installations made of multi-colored silk fabric, and also little people under a glass floor.
Thanks to the installation with the little men, Do Ho Suh earned the nickname "Gulliver". Little people under the leadership of their "Gulliver" line up in pyramids and towers, hold a glass floor on thousands of little handles, and are ready to sacrifice their little lives at any moment, if he is ordered to. Someone sees in these works the interaction of the people and the authorities, someone understands all this literally, as an illustration to the tale of Gulliver and the land of the Lilliputians. But it doesn't matter anymore - the main thing is to evoke emotions, make a person think and reflect.
And silk installations are not so serious, but no less spectacular. Do Ho Suh makes whole houses under the ceiling, stairs and towers from light, floating fabric. Fabulous architecture in real life. Perhaps he dreamed all this? But it doesn't matter anymore - the dream came true in reality, and everyone who comes to the exhibition of the Korean wizard will be able to plunge into this fantastic dream.

Nylon samples. Sculpture-installations from the Specimen Series by Do Ho Suh
We have already written about the amazing, fantastic, and sometimes fabulous sculptures-installations of the Korean author Do Ho Suh on Culturology.ru.
