Barbara Kasten is an American photographer and sculptor working primarily with light, color, and three-dimensional construction since the 1970s. Her practice centers on large-format color photography of constructed environments, architectural fragments, and abstract sculptural forms that she builds specifically to photograph. Operating at the intersection of photography, sculpture, and painting, Kasten uses light and shadow to transform her constructed subjects into investigations of color field and spatial illusion. Her work challenges the photograph's traditional documentary function in favor of formal experimentation rooted in postwar abstraction.
