Artist Talk with Ho Tzu Nyen

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.

During this Artist Talk, you will get the chance to dive deeper into Ho Tzu Nyen’s creative process and learn about his artistic practice and layered transcultural references. A unique opportunity to get to know the artist and gain a deeper understanding of his exhibition at Mudam, Time & the Tiger.
