About works / performance

Lewis Jacob’s work is about the structures that govern our lives and the countercultural figures that question them. He uses the camera to create a space where ideas and people can be brought together and unexpected relationships can occur, using improvisation, animation and sound to reinterpret research and reactivate histories.
