Masks have always fascinated me. When you put on a mask, you are given the opportunity to step into the skin of someone other than yourself. You assume a different character, take on different mannerisms and see things in a different perspective. I have taken part in art installations where I was required to wear [...]

This body of photographic work, titled “The Voyage To The Ends Of The World” by photographer Jovian Lim relies on the ‘heroic journey’ often seen in mythology.

I often hear of negative impressions of life in China. Many people not only bad-mouth China’s current and past political landscape, but ridicule contemporary Chinese art, business practices, and indeed, mentality! A lot of these impressions are based on hearsay and so-called “documentaries” seemingly peppered with personal vendetta; these people have never actually stepped foot [...]

I am not very well-traveled. Even though one of my to-do items is to travel to as many places around the world as possible, I am simply not able to do so at this point in my life. As such, I turn to photography. With the rise of Google Earth, Flickr and Photosynth has enabled [...]
