Biography
Cavin Lim (B.2001) is a Singaporean lens-based media artist working primarily with photography and video as reflective tools for exploring emotion and fragmentation. Through documenting personal and everyday encounters, his practice considers how lived experiences accumulate and are reshaped through memory and our perception of time.
His works navigate the relationship between memory and identity, attending to their fragile and non-linear nature, where identity is formed through small, fragmented experiences that come together over time. Moving between observation and reflection, through his everyday encounters and fleeting moments, he seeks to give form to feelings that are often difficult to name, looking to images as a way of holding onto these experiences and making sense of them.
Cavin is a recent graduate of Lasalle College of the Arts and holds a degree in Fine Arts awarded in partnership with Goldsmiths. He was previously nominated for the International Takifuji Art Award in 2025 and has exhibited in places such as Botanical Art Gallery, Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore and Alliance Française de Singapour.
My favorite vinyl that I currently own is If You Were A Movie, This Would Be Your Soundtrack by Sleeping With Sirens.
