STOCKHOLM.- Andréhn-Schiptjenko announced representation of Dev Dhunsi, following his solo exhibition Unmistakably You with the gallery earlier this year. His work was first presented at the gallery in the group exhibition Feel First, Think Later in 2025.
Working at the intersection of photography, textile, installation and critical myth-making, Dev Dhunsis practice expands the photographic image into sculptural, sonic and ecological space. Dhunsi combines photographic and textile techniques to investigate how histories are carried, obscured and reconfigured through material, memory and vision. Drawing on personal archives, ancestral narratives and diasporic dislocations shaped by his upbringing between Trondheim and Punjab, his work creates space for overlooked or silenced stories, resisting linear time and singular authorship. Blending myth, documentary traces and speculative gestures, Dhunsis installations foreground identity as porous and relational, shaped by cultural, political and historical forces. His work frequently engages queer South Asian mythologies alongside blurred landscapes that interrogate colonial frameworks of land, belonging and visibility.
Dev Dhunsi (b. 1996, Trondheim, Norway) is a NorwegianIndian artist living and working between Oslo and Punjab. He holds an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (2024) and a BFA from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts.

His work has also been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb during Organ Vida 13th Festival and FUTURES Photography.
