서도호는 현재 런던을 기반으로 활동하며 조각, 설치, 드로잉, 영상 등 다양한 매체를 통해 집과 공간, 기억, 이주와 정체성의 문제를 탐구해왔다. 한국, 미국, 독일, 영국 등 여러 도시를 오가며 살아온 경험은 그의 작업을 관통하는 중요한 출발점으로, 작가에게 집은 단순히 거주하는 물리적 장소가 아니라 개인의 기억과 감정, 관계가 축적되는 심리적 공간이다. 특히 실제 거주했던 집의 구조와 표면을 반투명한 천으로 재현하거나 이를 해체·이동 가능한 형태로 변환하는 작업을 통해, 특정 장소에 귀속된 건축적 공간을 개인의 기억과 경험에 따라 변화하는 유동적인 공간으로 전환한다. 이 과정에서 집은 사적인 기억의 저장소인 동시에, 이주와 정착을 반복하는 현대인의 삶과 정체성을 드러내는 보편적인 장소로 확장된다.
서도호의 작업에서 ‘집’은 개인의 기억을 넘어 세대와 장소, 시간의 관계를 매개하는 공간으로도 기능한다. 특히 작가의 아버지인 한국화가 산정 서세옥(山丁 徐世鈺, 1929-2020)이 1970년대 직접 설계하고 지은 한옥을 소재로 한 작업은 이러한 관심을 잘 보여준다. 작가는 어린 시절의 기억이 깃든 집 전체에 닥종이를 붙이고 문지르는 과정을 약 1년에 걸쳐 반복하며 건축물의 표면과 흔적을 채집하고, 이를 하나의 물질적 기록으로 전환했다. 종이에 남은 질감과 흔적은 사라져가는 공간을 보존하는 동시에 그곳에 축적된 시간과 기억을 환기한다. 이처럼 서도호에게 집은 완결된 건축물이 아니라 살아온 시간과 관계가 켜켜이 축적되고, 이동과 해체를 통해 다시 구성되는 기억의 구조물이다.
이러한 관점은 실제 거주 공간의 방과 복도, 계단과 통로 등을 섬세한 천과 종이로 재현한 작업에서도 지속적으로 나타난다. 작가가 실제로 거주했던 방과 복도 열 곳을 이어 붙여 약 22m 길이로 구성한 천 설치작 <둥지/들>(2024) 역시 개별적인 거주 공간을 하나의 연속된 구조로 변환한 작업이다. 관람객은 작품을 따라 이동하며 익숙하면서도 낯선 공간을 경험하게 되고, 그 과정에서 작가의 개인적 기억은 관람객 자신의 기억과 중첩된다. 서도호는 이처럼 건축적 공간을 기억의 공간으로, 개인의 경험을 보편적인 감각으로 치환하며, 집이라는 가장 사적인 장소를 통해 인간이 공간에 거주하고 이동하며 관계를 맺는 방식에 대한 질문을 제기한다. 그의 작업에서 집은 결국 ‘어디에 사는가’에 대한 물음에서 출발해, ‘무엇을 기억하며 살아가는가’, 그리고 ‘어떤 방식으로 자신의 장소를 만들어가는가’라는 보다 근본적인 질문으로 확장된다.
