Wayne Lim is a multidisciplinary artist
from Singapore, based in Boorloo/Perth.
Grounded in an ongoing search for self and home, his practice incorporates lens-based works, durational performances, and social engagement, with an interest in understanding place through a psychogeographic lens as an immigrant artist. Most recently, he performed an endurance work in which he walked from one end of Perth to the other, covering 155km in five days and sleeping in guest rooms along the way.
Trained as a visual journalist, his work has been published in Austin’s alt-weekly The Austin Chronicle and Singapore’s daily broadsheet The Straits Times, and awarded at College Photographer of the Year, the world’s largest collegiate photojournalism competition. His documentary films have also screened in competition at the Academy Awards-qualifying Short Shorts Film Festival (Japan), among others.
