What can a person do? To be honest, a lot, but compared to a group of people, a close and close-knit team, he has much fewer opportunities. Many stories and children's fairy tales have been written about this, and even the masterpieces of modern art also teach us to stick together. At least an installation by a Korean artist Do Ho Suh certainly on this topic. The artist Do Ho Suh can rightfully be called the lord of plastic men. These unremarkable children's toys form the basis of the author's second installation. Moreover, both works were created according to the same scenario: together we are strong!
One of the works is a giant bright orange tornado. At first it attracts attention by its size and color, but then, when you notice that the installation is formed of thousands of plastic figures hanging in clusters on top of each other, you start to look at the whole structure differently.
The second work was recently exhibited at the Lehmann Maupin Gallery at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI). And it is more philosophical. A thick transparent panel is held in their hands by thousands of multi-colored miniature plastic figures. And together they are a powerful force, because they are able to support the weight of a visitor who steps on this floor. You can get acquainted with the artist's works better on his website.
