In an attempt to shift the practice of art from the manufacture of objects to the production of 'discursive events', Ho Tzu Nyen wrote and directed four short films that resurrect 4 exemplary moments in the history of art in Singapore. These were broadcasted over 4 weeks on the public television channel Arts Central.

Episode 2: Cheo Chai Hiang: A Thousand Singapore Rivers
