Tristan Lim is a visual artist whose practice questions the manner in which we perceive and value virtuality and reality in contemporary life. Examining the forms in which images, brands and visual materials circulate and manifest in culture, relationships between disparate things are uncovered, surfacing questions of material and existential significance.
