Ho Tzu Nyen: Time & the Tiger

Entry

Free

Time & the Tiger is the most significant exhibition of the work of Ho Tzu Nyen (1976, Singapore) presented to date in Europe. For more than two decades, Ho’s films, installations and virtual reality artworks relentlessly push the boundaries of moving image. At the heart of his artistic practice is a reflection on history: the way it is written and transmitted, and the role narratives, myths and fiction play in its construction. Ho’s questions on history are embodied in works that take as their starting point the context of Southeast Asia – a region whose unity lies in its plurality and transformation. The exhibition gathers several of Ho’s major installations, among them the important new production T for Time (2023–ongoing). Programmed through an algorithm, this two-channel projection brings together references and anecdotes from various cultural contexts, both European and Asian, to offer a profound meditation on the notion of time.
