Employing the concept of inscrutable looking, a way of looking at photographs to sense hidden and speculative narratives, Lim’s works position photography as a democratic mode of communication that extends beyond spoken language, inviting viewers to question their assumptions about marginalised communities and complicate the narratives imposed upon them.
He also runs Quiet Press: a self-publishing platform dedicated to quiet photographic storytelling.
