For this striking work, Korean artist Do-Ho Suh placed thousands of tiny human figures below a sheet of glass. They support the weight of visitors who walk through the Singapore Tyler Print Institute. This exhibit will be on display through February 11.

The convenient thing about this kind of art is the artist needn't master any artistic technique, and the viewer needn't interpret the predigested magnum opus.
