A Painter with a Camera highlights Jyoti Bhatt’s experimental approach to photography as a material and conceptual practice. Created between the 1960s and 1980s, the works on view reveal a sustained engagement with analogue processes such as multiple exposure, collage, masking and hand painting. Bhatt treats the photograph as a surface to be reworked, altered and revisited, drawing from his background as a painter. Presented as silver gelatin prints, the works retain their original material presence and labour. Through fractured images and layered compositions, Bhatt explores perception, identity and visual language. The exhibition situates his practice within a broader history of experimental photography in India, offering insight into a period of innovation and boundary-pushing.
