Lim’s work extends personal experiences into a broader social realm, combining the intense political context of historical discontinuity and trauma with challenging yet sensory poetic narratives. Ranging from sculptures in non-fixed, fragile forms using organic materials, to video and performance that reposition fact and fiction, to multifaceted installations incorporating drawings, text, and sound, the artist’s work transcends the boundaries of genres and categories of media, reaching the point where each medium intersects and translates one another. Lim’s works engage in a “reconfiguration of the sensible” that seeks to uncover history’s hidden voices and forms based on questions about modernity, issues of community and memory, and reflections on places concealed by time and space.
