Ho Tzu Nyen
Ho Tzu Nyen makes films, installations and performances that begin as engagements with historical and theoretical texts. His recent works are populated by metamorphic figures such as the weretiger (One or Several Tigers, 2017) and the triple agent (The Nameless, 2015), under the rubric of The Critical Dictionary of Southeast, an ongoing meta-project that includes online archiving through algorithm.
Ho Tzu Nyen was awarded a DAAD scholarship in Berlin and the Grand Prize of the Asia Pacific Breweries Foundation Signature Art Prize.
