Contemporary Photographer Research Assignment


Barbara Kasten
Architectural Site #17
The High Museum 1998

Born in Chicago, Illinois in 1936. She has done exhibitions all over the world, but mostly in the US. She has many different series of photos including places around the world and different uses of mixed media. She really likes to use color to exaggerate shadows. My favorite of them all was a series of images that were full of color and seemed to be added with images using photoshop. With geometric shapes, mirrors, and glass, she creates abstract interpretations of interior spaces and architectural details. You can tell that some things are unrealistic but that is what makes the image so interesting. The viewer just keeps looking through the image and discovers more and more.
