Juxtaposition: Site 2 1988

"Juxtaposition: Site 2" (1988) by Barbara Kasten is a striking example of the artist's exploration of abstract photography. The work features a vibrant and chaotic background of splattered paint reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism, juxtaposed with a geometric, window-like shape containing a silhouette of a bare tree. This interplay of organic and geometric forms challenges traditional notions of photographic representation. Kasten's use of color and composition creates a visually compelling and thought-provoking dialogue between the natural world and the constructed environment.
