Sarah Isabelle Tan

Sarah Isabelle Tan’s practice delves into temporal traces, gestures and (re)presentation of the fleeting encounter that oscillates between presence and absence. Working primarily with the notion of the image, her work is situated within sites of loss, memory and a longing for what is always beyond reach. She graduated from the University of the Arts, London College of Communication in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts, First Class Honours in Photography. Her work has been exhibited in London and Singapore and published in The British Journal of Photography. She was a recipient of the Objectifs Centre Documentary Award 2020 and a still image category finalist of the inaugural Julius Baer Next Generation Art Prize 2021. Her works were presented at S.E.A Focus 2022 with Sullivan+Strumpf Singapore. Sarah also lectures at LASALLE College of the Arts Singapore, and is currently pursuing her Masters of Research at the Royal College of Art London.
