Behind the Scenes: Installation of Do Ho Suh's "Karma"

A look at the installation of Do Ho Suh's bronze sculpture "Karma" (2010), from the perspective of SJMA's exhibition crew. Installation began in late January, with a total of 15 people (including 3 crane operators). One lane of San Fernando Street was closed down to accommodate the crane that lifted the sculpture into SJMA's Oshman Sculpture Court.
Do Ho Suh's "Karma" is 23 feet high, with 98 figures stacked atop one another, curving towards the top, as though the weight of the past becomes too much to bear.
