Eugenia Lim is an artist of Chinese-Singaporean ancestry who works across body, lens, social and spatial practice to explore how migration and capital cut, divide and bond our interdependent world. An ongoing strand of practice considers work, collectivity, technology and ethics—and art and capital as strange bedfellows. Often a performer within her own works, Lim invents personas to explore the tensions of the individual within society—the alienation and belonging in a globalised world. Based on unceded lands in the Kulin Nation, Lim has exhibited, screened or performed at the Tate Modern (GBR), LOOP Barcelona (ESP), FIVA (AR), Recontemporary (IT), Kassel Dokfest (DE), Museum of Contemporary Art (AUS), ACCA (AUS), FACT Liverpool (GBR), EXiS (Seoul) and Kunsthal Charlottenborg (DK). She has been artist-in-residence with the Experimental Television Centre (USA), Bundanon Trust, 4A Beijing Studio (CN), Gertrude Contemporary, and she co-founded CHANNELS Festival. Collaboration, community and artist-led pedagogies fuel Lim’s work as board member at West Space, Composite Moving Image Agency, artist advisory committee member for NETS Victoria, founding membership of temporal art collective Tape Projects and teaching at the Victorian College of the Arts. Lim is a 2022 Sidney Myer Creative Fellow, and the winner of Kunsthal Charlottenborg Spring’s 2022 Deep Forest Art Land Award. In 2024, Lim is an AIDC Leading Light, a Frame Documentary Lab participant, and one of 10 international directors selected for the prestigious Berlinale Talents Short Form Station 2024.

Eugenia Lim studio pays respect to the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung people of the Eastern Kulin Nation on whose unceded sovereign land we live and work. From this place, we contribute to the collective practice of global art and culture. Our work is indebted to the cultural practices and embodied knowledges that have nurtured and shaped the lands, skies and waterways of our home since the beginning of all things. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
