As the second program of the [2022 Virtual K-Culture: Visual Arts] series, the Korean Cultural Centre presents Do-Ho Suh’s 「Karma」 video produced by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Korea (MMCA) as part of its VR Video Series 2021.

Do-Ho Suh (b. 1962) studied oriental painting at Seoul National University and painting and sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University. Over the past two decades, Suh has built an international reputation for his ingenious and intriguing concepts in elaborate sculptures, installations and video works.

Produced as part of the MMCA VR Art Hallyu video series, <Karma> has been viewed more than 1.4 million times in about a month and received a great response online. <Karma> is a work specially produced for the exhibition DNA: Korean Art Yesterday and Today (July 7, 2021-October 10, 2021) held at the MMCA Deoksugung. The figures form a series of towers extending infinitely upwards on the shoulders of people walking somewhere, showing the origins of existence and constant relationship with the past generation.

MMCA VR is a video series containing works of Korean artists in VR(Virtual Reality) to inform the world of the true nature of Korean art. It was created to be immersed and enjoy the hidden story of the works through 360° VR video and rotoscoping (a technology that combines live-action and animation). MMCA VR provides a new artistic experience referent from viewing works in exhibition halls with videos that combine various visual effects.
