Over recent years, Dhunsi’s artistic focus has centred on his journeys to India, his father’s native country. His projects, showcased in expansive installations, seamlessly blend textiles, lens-based works, and experimental printing techniques into captivating mixed-media presentations. Delving beyond the visual, Dhunsi’s images explore socio political and anthropological questions, contemplating themes of identity, origin, and cultural intersections.

Often immersed in water and sound, Dhunsi’s captivating images challenge viewers to move beyond the confines of a single photograph. The complexity of his narratives unfolds through installations, where images spin, split, and move, becoming integral parts of a larger artistic landscape.

In contrast to Dhunsi’s usual dynamic approach, the current exhibition at Melk features still images, departing from his typical mechanical system that renders images unreadable. Despite the stillness, an underlying sense of floating persists, challenging contemporary perceptions of stability. Dhunsi’s exploration extends to the transformation of a site into a sight, prompting contemplation on photography’s historical role in land appropriation.
