Amshu Chukki

Amshu Chukki explores the themes of reality and fiction through multimedia artwork in a manner that contemplates the outlandish nature of constructed landscapes and surreal spaces. Incorporating the narrative structure of filmmaking, he delves into the dystopian world of man-made sites and artefacts, questioning the very notions of nature and reality. His debut exhibition, The Tour, was held at Chatterjee & Lal in 2017.
