2024 Live Exhibition

Time to Live: A Terminal Exhibition

MUSIC COMPOSED
BY DARREN LIM
Synopsis

What if you could see, hear and feel the minutes of your life, or the life of someone you loved, slipping away? With cancer remaining a leading cause of death in Australia, tens of thousands are faced with this reality every day. On Saturday 17th August Australian Cancer Research Foundation held the Time to Live exhibition. A raw, intimate and once-in-a-lifetime experience where a woman with a terminal diagnosis auctioned 3-minute pieces of her remaining time to raise awareness for cancer research. A profoundly human and fleeting one-on-one encounter that offered a unique opportunity to grasp the emotional and psychological weight of living with, or being connected to someone with, a terminal diagnosis.

It was an incredible privilege composing the score for this powerful live exhibition at Sydney's Carriageworks by The Australian Cancer Research Foundation. The story, centred around Emily, a terminally ill cancer patient, deeply resonated with me. I poured my heart into capturing her journey, striving to tell her story in the most personal and intimate way possible through my music.
