Portrait of Home is a collection of black and white photographs of post-independence Singapore in the pictorialist and modernist style by 87-year-old Lim Kwong Ling, a veteran of the local salon and art photography scene. The images depict different facets of home through the photographer’s eyes, from landscapes, to various occupations and industries of the time, to family photos. The book features previously unseen images, in addition to images from the Portrait of Home exhibition held at Objectifs in 2019. The book also includes essays by heritage blogger Jerome Lim, writer Zhuang Wubin, visual artist Charles Lim, Portrait of Home exhibition curator Ryan Chua and Lim’s grandson Maximilian Lim.
