Come experience and be part of “𝗦𝗮𝘆𝗮𝘄 𝘀𝗮 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻”, a performance-workshop by bjork

“𝗦𝗮𝘆𝗮𝘄 𝘀𝗮 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻” is Bjork’s performance art project, developed to explore the body’s linkage to the broader tapestry of nature. For her, this work is a perpetual act of arrival—a way of knowing, a way of showing, and a way of being.

𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘺𝘢 — one’s sense of being; innate character.
𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘺𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘯 — nature.

In English, “𝗦𝗮𝘆𝗮𝘄 𝘀𝗮 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻” means 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚. Movement is inherent to human existence and evolution. Drawing on the principles of indigenous dance and ecology, it provides a platform for self-inquiry into one’s own body within a post-colonial context shaped by shame, isolation, and hyperproductivity.

Nature, as an encompassing force of fluidity, serves as a framework for exploring human rigidities in movement. It invites us to question contemporary notions of being and to cultivate our own forms of liberty by situating the body as part of a living, open ecosystem.

The performance-workshop aims to connect participants with the Earth by reflecting the movement and narrative of water. It combines short exercises of meditation, contemplation, and somatic exploration.

It’s the last weekend for 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, ___________ by .lim at Hin Bus Depot Gallery, and we’re inviting you to spend your Saturday afternoon with him for a casual sharing & Q&A session.

Curious about photography? Ask him anything you’ve always wanted to know. Photoshoots, casting, production, styling, lighting set up, metering, film photography, digital teaching, photo assisting, or anything in between.

Come visit the exhibition, join the conversation, and maybe finally ask that photography question that’s been sitting in your camera roll notes all this while 👀

A look inside ‘𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, ________’, Danny Lim’s first solo exhibition in Malaysia, featuring a series of photographic works that trace his shift from the fast-paced global fashion circuit back to the quiet familiarity of home. The show offers a straightforward, two-way introduction between the photographer and the land he calls home.

This exhibition showcases a series of quiet portraits of Malaysian youth, cast by Tham Casting with Sara Kong producing the original photo shoot. Alongside the photography, the gallery features an on-site text installation written by Kelly Lim. Departing from his usual high-fashion models, these frames capture the subjects in their simplest form, creating an intimate space where people can just be themselves.

Big thanks to everyone who dropped by for the opening of 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, ___________ by .lim

For Danny, this exhibition marks a return home. After years spent moving through New York and fashion capitals around the world, his lens now slows down to reconnect with the people, places, and rhythms that first shaped him. Through these photographs, home is revisited with a renewed sense of intimacy and reflection.

If you haven’t had the chance to visit yet, we’d love to welcome you in the coming days. Bring your friends and family along to Hin Bus Depot and experience the exhibition on view until 17 May 2026.

Special thanks to for keeping us fuelled with caffeine throughout the day.
