A Window of Time

The piece began with a quiet realization that a large part of life is spent in motion, between one place and the next. Not quite arriving, not quite departing, but suspended in the middle. This in-between state, often overlooked or discounted, holds a kind of intimate presence, a texture of everyday life that’s both ephemeral and expansive. Filmed over years of commuting and traveling across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Suh transforms the gallery into a cinematic landscape of movement. A model train loops on an illuminated track, carrying a small projector that casts fragments of passing scenes on the surround walls—fleeting impressions of architecture, countryside, strangers in cities, and drifting inner monologue. The projected images blur the lines between her personal memory, collective experience, and momentary perception. “This is not about the places we go, but how we move through them.” The artist speculates, “Perhaps the in-between is where we spend most of our lives.”
