Lewis Khan b.1990 is a photographic artist born and raised in London. Working with stills and motion, his portrait based practice is a study of emotion, relationships and belonging. With a keen eye for observation and a personal interest in community as a driving force in his work. Lewis’ practice both acts as social commentary, and immerses him physically in the places, groups, and relationships pictured in his photographs and films.

1/4Curtain for Landy, Shower Face Group Show, Galerie PCP
This exhibition takes OCD as a starting point. Curated by Gabriel Pluckrose, it brings together ten artists and friends who are reimagining the location of his own compulsion. The shower. For Pluckrose, showers were a secret behaviour that provided instant release. A ritual that create immediate stability. A sanctuary for thought and safety. This exhibition of reimagined hanging shower curtains is an insight into very intimate ways of experiencing and looking at the world, and about how past experiences and trauma leave imprint and shape us.
1/6Leavers, Peckham 24
The 2025 artistic programme foregrounds projects that explore notions of community, collectivity, solidarity and connection. Many artists and projects participating in this year’s festival have employed photography as a collective act of healing and mutual support. Some projects amplify stories and voices from communities under-represented in the cultural landscape by collapsing traditional binary dynamics of author and subject; others attempt to navigate global events in real time, calling on us to confront our own complicity in grave abuses of power. The festival also argues for the political value of pleasure and playfulness in a time of such darkness and systemic violence. A number of projects explore collective joy and hospitality as radical tools in the creation of agency, with food as a language of love that echoes across time.

In 2014 Khan won a bursary to make imagery for an exhibition at The Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, London, after which the Hospital Trust asked him to pitch for a new project. Initially his idea revolved around the politics of anti-privatization, a narrative that is still important to him. Gradually though, his approach became less overtly political and more transparently human, dealing with the strength and fragility that he witnessed on a daily basis.
He spent prolonged periods time assimilating to the environment. Shadowing Mark Bower, a consultant oncologist, he became aware of the emotional effects of hospital life that apply just as much to staff as patients. This observation suggested that the hierarchy that we might assume of hospital life is a fallacy. The reality is more like a mutual respect that eschews power dynamics in favour of a communal understanding.
From Strength and Fragility, by Jim Campbell.
