Ho Tzu Nyen (born in 1976 in Singapore; lives and works in Berlin, Germany) earned a BA in Creative Arts from Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne, and an MA in Southeast Asian Studies from the National University of Singapore. He works primarily in film, video and performance and appropriates the structures of epic myths, invoking their grandeur while revealing them to be not merely stories, but discursive tools. He is particularly concerned with those moments when contemporary figures imagine and invent the past in order to serve the needs of the present.
