Lap-See Lam

Lap-See Lam takes the audience on a journey through different dimensions and suggestive layers – time and space, dream and reality, past and future – like in “Mother’s Tongue” (in collaboration with Wingyee Wu, 2018), Phantom Banquet (2019–2021), “Dreamers’ Quay” (2022) and “Tales of the Altersea” (2023).

The works are the result of Lap-See Lam’s close collaboration with a number of different professionals raging from dramatists, composers and sinologists to light and sound specialists and developers within 3D scanning and virtual reality.

Within a relatively short space of time, Lap-See Lam has emerged as one of the leading Swedish artists of the younger generation. After several acclaimed exhibitions in the Nordic countries, her international debut came in 2023 with solo exhibitions at Portikus in Frankfurt am Main, the Swiss Institute in New York and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum in New York.

Lap-See Lam is represented in the collections of Moderna Museet, the Kadist Foundation and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. She was the recipient of the Maria Bonnier Dahlin Foundation grant in 2017, as well as being nominated for the Future Generation Art Prize in 2021. Lap-See Lam was awarded the Dagens Nyheter Culture Prize in 2021, as well as being invited to produce an episode for the popular Swedish radio programme “Sommar & Vinter i P1”.

2023 she is nominated for the visual arts prize Ars Fennica 2023.
