Here's part of the footage but it might be difficult to see how good it actually looked. These are some images from the piece and a description of how it has inspired other pieces of architecture.
As I sat and watched it I got really excited about the prospect of finding an abandoned building to do something in. Anything. Just sort of play in. I find the skeletons of buildings and abandonment of something once beautiful really alluring somehow.
This is an image of Rachel Whiteread's 'Place' from the exhibition. Each house is beautifully lit and attention has obviously been paid to every one. The sight is impressive and I like how in such numbers any one particular home seems insignificant to the others. It reminds me of how looking over a view of London you wouldn't be able to pick out where you live yet are fascinated by the amount of people living out their lives in all these buildings.
Seeing this piece directed me to look at her other work where she casts the negative space of rooms within homes and even whole buildings.
Do Ho Suh's work is equally intricate and beautiful, it directly contrasts to Whiteread's as each detail is important to his memory of home.
