Lewis Bush (photographer)

Lewis K. Bush (born 1988) is a British photographer, writer, curator and educator.[1][2] He aims "to draw attention to forms of invisible power that operate in the world", believing that "power is always problematic" because it is inherently "arbitrary and untransparent".[3]

Bush's The Memory of History (2012), is about Europe's forgetfulness of its unresolved past and that past's re-emergence, as evidenced in the time of the European debt crisis;[4] The Camera Obscured (2012) is about the absurdity of security guards preventing people from photographing buildings; Metropole (2015) is "an architectural critique on the changing face of London";[5] War Primer 3 (2013) is a reworking of Broomberg and Chanarin's book War Primer 2; and Shadows of the State (2018) is about numbers stations.[6] All are self-published apart from Shadows of the State and the 2018 version of Metropole. The Memory of History[2][4] and Metropole[5] have been shown in solo exhibitions in London.
