Suh Do Ho’s (1962-) work exists at the cross-section between memories, locales, and the experiences of diaspora. Through his work, is expressed considerations of the individual and the spaces of the individual within society. For Uni-form/s: Self-portrait/s: My 39 Years, the artist gathered school uniforms, training uniforms, military uniforms, and civil defense uniforms and aligned them in order. He displays the uniforms that people born and in Korea during that time would have all worn, and thus inspires a reflection on the subtext of the sense of belonging and community carried by uniforms. In Korean society, certain schools and military corps in personal introductions serve to tacitly reveal where the person is from, their economic status, and their level of education. However, wearing the uniform also suppresses the gap between individuals among these symbols of rank that exist within a group. The uniform obliterates individuality, but at the same time, it is a means by which to more accurately confirm an individual's identity. Incorporating “self-portrait” into the title of a work where he exhibits his uniforms carries such subtext. This is at the same time Suh’s story as well as everyone else’s; all people in modern society have experience being a part of numerous groups, and that sense of belonging and the numerous relationships formed therein form a part of life. And once they have escaped these uniforms, they are confronted with the question of “how to identify oneself”.
