Do Ho Suh - the loss of individuality

Do Ho Suh is a Korean artist who had an exhibition at the serpentine gallery AGES ago, which featured, among other things, a glass floor held up by tiny figures, and entire rooms made from translucent silk. But even though I went to the exhibition when I was about 12, I often think about it, and only today realized fully what he was trying to portray through his work. It seems to me that his work deals with the loss of individuality, and the fragility of our existence. I wish they would bring the exhibiton back, I think it was the most important exhibition I've ever been to.
