Writer & Filmmaker
Wayne Lim (b. 2000) is a writer and image-maker from Singapore, based in Boorloo/Perth.
Grounded in an ongoing search for self and home, his creative practice investigates the potential of analog and experimental processes in the (re)interpretation and performance of memory via moving-image works.
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) and the Singapore Youth Film Festival, among others.
