Glimpses Behind the Curtain offers a rare and intimate preview of Dev Dhunsi’s forthcoming project, set to launch as a photobook and international exhibitions in 2026. Drawn from the margins of the editing process, these outtakes reveal fragments that hover between inclusion and omission, images that carry the
pulse of the work without settling into its final form.
In negatives, and bodies dissolving into light, the photographs echo the projects’ central concerns: the legacies of racial classification, the instability of identity, and the poetic charge of hybridity. They are less finished statements than fugitive gestures, moments that refuse to resolve yet insist on being seen.
By stepping momentarily “behind the curtain,” viewers encounter the vulnerability of process itself — a reminder that identity, like the photograph, is always provisional, shifting, and unfinished.
