Hand-print on Silver Resin Coated paper, aluminium & steel food cans, bottle caps, mounted on oxidised zinc panel / 1975 x 503 x 135 mm / 2017
A collection of portraits of the people of Malaysia. It is an attempt at a typological study of identity through portraiture. Cataloguing the diversity, Jeffrey Lim is exploring and understanding the realities of the socio-circumstances with his subjects, especially among the native & tribal society. As a juxtapose to the definition of nationally-constructed ideals of race and culture, he sees cultural identity changing fast, exerting and redefining itself at these areas of conflict.
Kanta Portraits is a photography project. The artist has built simple box cameras that can print instantly. Simply put, it is a mobile photo studio, made from waste & found materials, the size of a biscuit tin. The uniqueness is in the image, which is a silverprint that is chemically-processed immediately at the point of capture and given to the subject. The project is still on-going, currently exploring rural communities of Borneo. Researching and understanding the anthropology and ethnography similarities and link of Malaysia to the region and beyond.
