Resource 2: Who am we?…exploring the unique

This ‘wall paper’ is made from photographs of thousands of teenagers’ faces taken from the artist’s high school yearbooks. From a distance you cannot see that they are faces. Close up, you can see that each one is unique.

Resource 3: Cause and effect…investigating past influences

This piece looks, from a distance, like a powerful tornado. When you observe more closely you can see that it is made of thousands of tiny figures swirling round and down towards a single figure at the bottom. Do Ho was thinking about the influence of generations of family members that makes an individual the person they are.

Resource 4 Reflection…learning about spaces

This piece is a copy of a gateway from Do Ho’s childhood home in South Korea. He has made it out of translucent fabric with a metal frame (like a tent). In fact he has made two gateways that look like reflections of one another. Do Ho is interested in transitional spaces (such as doorways, bridges, corridors and staircases), that link one space to another.
