Barbara Kasten

1936

USA

Trained in painting, textile, and sculpture under major figures such as Trude Guermonprez and Magdalena Abakanowicz, Barbara Kasten has developed an interdisciplinary artistic practice at the intersection of photography, installation, architecture, and light. Through constructed setups combining mirrors, geometric forms, volumes, and colored projections, she creates artificial spaces that she captures through the photographic image. Her work interrogates perception and the translation of three-dimensional space onto the photographic plane, while dialoguing with the legacies of modernism and the Bauhaus. Her works generate a visual disorientation in which illusion, structure, and color redefine the boundaries between abstraction, materiality, and sensory experience
