Kenji Lim
Kenji Lim, geboren 1980 in Singapur, lebt und arbeitet in Essex (UK). Er studierte Bildhauerei am Londoner Royal College of Art (2017-2019) und der Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University (1999-2002).
Kenji Lims Werke wollen unsere Wahrnehmung von Landschaft und Natur durch kulturelle, mythologische, philosophische und metaphysische Prismen brechen, indem ein neuer Blick durch die Augen nicht-menschlicher Wesen auf bekannte westliche Kulturnormen geworfen wird. Lims melancholische und manchmal ironische Parallelwelten konzentrieren sich häufig auf ihre ökologischen und archäologischen Daseinsaspekte. Seine Skulpturen, Videos, digitale Collagen, Installationen und Malereien funktionieren dabei sowohl einzeln als auch als Gruppeninstallation
Kenji Lim is a British artist based in Essex, born 1980 in Singapore. He works through sculpture, video, digital collage, installation, and painting, to produce objects, animations, and images that operate both individually, and collectively as installation and assembly. Lim’s work reflects and refracts the experience of landscape and the natural world through the prisms of culture, myth, philosophy, and the metaphysical; returning the gaze of Western cultural norms through the eyes of other-than-human actors. Partly ecological and archeological, in turns melancholic and tongue in cheek, he navigates alternative modes of seeing, understanding, and interacting with the world and its inhabitants.
Lim studied Sculpture at the Royal College of Art, London (MA - 2017-2019); and the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University (BFA - 1999-2002). He is currently an Acme Work/Live Artist at High House in Purfleet, Essex. Recent exhibitions include Situated Deities at The Stone Space, London; Neverafter at Galerie Reinthaler, Vienna; and The Flood Machine at The Window Project, Cambridge.
