Lenne Chai (b. 1991) is a Singaporean visual artist working primarily in photography and lens based media, reimagining nostalgia and fantasy as tools for social critique. Recognized by Vogue Singapore as “one of Singapore’s most promising fashion photographers,” she has shot for Vogue, Gucci, W Magazine, The Hollywood Reporter, Esquire, Harper’s Bazaar, and more.
Her dreamy reimaginings of her hometown through her lens – whether in the form of queering the traditional Chinese wedding banquet, or conceiving a version of Singapore in which schools are safe spaces for LGBTQ civil discourse – have been featured in BBC World News, CNN, Vogue, Dazed, and exhibited at Objectifs and Singapore Art Week.
