Jay Lim (b. 2000) is a Singaporean artist specialising in photography and book arts. His practice documents the lives of queer men who exist outside of societal norms. Using photography as an alternative mode of communication that reaches beyond spoken language, Lim invites viewers to question dominant assumptions about queer experience, challenging and complicating institutional narratives and discourse. He is interested in exploring how inscrutable looking, a non-pragmatic way of seeing, can serve as a form of quiet resistance, communicated through strategies such as opacity. Lim aims to provide alternative ways for queer people to feel, remember and resist. Singaporean Love explores his identity as a gay Singaporean Chinese man, tracing experiences of love, intimacy and belonging between London and Singapore through reflection and resistance, using “inscrutability” to communicate queer experience outside dominant discourse.
