Luis Fábrega is a visual and sound artist who, since 2006, has explored photography, video, and music as parts of a single creative organism. His camera moves through cities, bodies, and gestures in motion, with a particular focus on portraiture, dance, and the nude — building an evolving archive of over thirty thousand images that converse across projects. Based in Paris, he creates video art and hybrid pieces where the body becomes both subject and language. Among them, SOKKA — a collaborative video-dance project with twenty performers inspired by Japanese aesthetics — and a series centered on the tree as a symbol of maturity and growth.In parallel, he composes music that blends jazz, pop, and electronica. His discography includes LIFE IN A BOAT, an album recorded aboard a barge on the Seine, alongside more than two hundred original compositions conceived as soundtracks to his own visual universe.His website functions as a living diary where images, videos, and sounds intertwine to tell one continuous story — that of an artist who sees the body, the city, and time as mutable territories of transformation, exposure, and memory.
In this gallery, a selection of my video works comes together, where the photographic gaze shifts into movement, time, and sound. These pieces explore the body, the city, and intimacy through a carefully crafted visual narrative, in which light, rhythm, and silence become raw material. Each video is born from the same pursuit that guides my photographs: pausing on what normally goes unnoticed and building, frame by frame, a sensory and emotional experience for the viewer.
Working with video as an artistic medium appeals to you because it expands what you already do with photography and allows you to tell the same obsessions in a different way: body, city, intimacy, and time.Going beyond the still image, video gives you something that a photograph does not: duration, breathing, a before and an after. The light changes, bodies move, the city makes sound, and all of this allows you to build more complex atmospheres and immerse the viewer in a longer, more enveloping experience. Editing, rhythm, and sound become tools just as expressive as framing or light in your photographs.
There is also continuity with your photographic gaze: it is not a separate medium, but a natural extension of it. You continue working with composition, light, and the presence of the body, but now you add movement, voice, silence, breathing, footsteps, small gestures. This allows you to explore vulnerability and intimacy in an almost cinematic way, where each shot contributes to a more open and emotional narrative.
