Alarm Keypad, Unit G5, Union Wharf, 23 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7SB, UK (2017) by Do Ho Suh is part of his ongoing investigation into memory, domestic architecture, and personal history.
The work depicts a specific fixture, an alarm keypad, from Suh’s former residence and studio at Union Wharf in London. Known for his fabric sculptures recreating entire homes, Suh also isolates mundane, daily touched objects (doorknobs, light switches, keypads, fire extinguishers) to explore how memory adheres to the physical remnants of space.
By isolating the security keypad, the work draws focus to a mundane interface that requires daily physical contact, turning a routine domestic ritual into a ghostly, preserved artifact.
By utilizing the cyanotype process to expose light-sensitive paper to ultraviolet light, Suh creates a cyan blue silhouette that gives the object a spectral, architectural blueprint appearance.
