Coming Soon:
Lucas Gabellini-Fava: Sound Track for a Window
10 - 16 September 2025
HAPAX welcomes LUCAS GABELLINI-FAVA to our West London space dedicated to showing new or experimental forms of lens-based art
Soundtrack for a Window reimagines the window as both frame and photograph, a timeless motif in photographic history. Using a live camera feed, Gabellini-Fava’s work follows the shifting scenes of life outside and translates them into a generative soundscape, transforming the window itself into a living, evolving image
Accompanied by two sculptural stools, ‘Sit and Watch’ and ‘Sit and Listen’, the installation invites viewers to reconsider the window as a photograph full of life and movement. The generative soundtrack transforms this living image into a composition that can be heard within the room, offering a new way to experience the visual beyond just seeing. It encourages viewers to see the Living Room window not just simply as a view, but as a continuously evolving lens-based piece engaging multiple senses in real time.
Installed within the HAPAX Living Room, Gabellini-Fava’s work explores the ways sound and time alter the perception of an image, with views that continue to evolve in this West London regeneration project.

LUCAS GABELLINI-FAVA is a London-based artist. He studied at the London College of Communication, where he received a BA First Class Honours degree in Photography. His practice explores themes of preservation, authenticity and the passage of time.
Delving into the complexities of visual and textual interpretation, he invites a reconsideration of conventional narratives. His conceptual interests extend to questioning established norms and hierarchies within artistic discourse, challenging viewers to engage with the interplay between the tangible and intangible. By re-contextualizing found objects and images, he offers new perspectives on the inherent histories and narratives that they carry. The work serves as a testament to the enduring dialogue between materiality and memory through various examinations of how objects and images evolve over time .
Lucas was commissioned to create new work as part of HAPAX Magazine’s first issue in 2021. He is part of London’s Revolv Collective which was established with the vision of developing new collaborative practices within the visual arts, focusing on innovative ways of teaching and creating photography. gabellinifava.com
