The Lost Light Recordings, founded by Document and Location member Lee Elkins, publish Lewis Khan ‘Theatre’
The Lost Light Recordings, an independent photobook publisher founded by Document and Location member Lee Elkins, recently published Theatre, a photobook by Lewis Khan that documents the emotional impacts of hospital life on members of staff of the NHS.
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.
Due to the sustained high demand, The Lost Light Recordings have published a second, soft-back edition of Lewis Khan’s Theatre.
You can order the second edition of Theatre now via the Lost Light Recordings website.
