Since the 1970s, Kasten (b. 1936, United States) has been constructing expansive installations made of architectural ‘props’ such as glass, mirrors, metal, or wood constructions in front of the camera for her abstract ‘photographs’. Space as a stage of a changing reality is the central motif of her photographs, film, and sculptural installations, which she produces in an ‘interdisciplinary performance’ between photography, sculpture, architecture, and painting. These theatrical arrangements are notable for their use of colour, light and shadow, an approach going back to Kasten’s roots as a painter and sculptor.
