Anne Senstad

Sonoptic Parallels # 16 (Abstract Photography)

2016

Anne Katrine Senstad’s photographic art, since the 1990s, has focused on the phenomena of light, color, and perception, exploring abstraction, geometry, and minimalism as sensorial experiences. Drawing inspiration from Suprematist and Constructivist movements, and philosophers like Plato, her work conveys the internal realms of poetic beauty and the architecture of the experiential world. Her series, such as Color Kinesthesia and Universals Foldouts, shown at the 55th Venice Biennale, employ multi-layered techniques including the reuse of medium format color film negatives, animated projections, and film recaptures, capturing light and color in space. In Cosmosis Collages, Senstad layers color film negatives to create translucent spaces and new color combinations, projecting her inner vision onto the medium. Anne Katrine Senstad, a New York and Oslo-based Norwegian artist, explores the sensorial responses to light, color, and form through her multidisciplinary practice, which includes installation, video, photography, neon sculpture, and site-specific works. Educated at the University of California, Berkeley, and earning a BFA in Photography from Parsons School of Design, she has concentrated on the phenomena of perception, aesthetics, and the cognitive system since the 1990s.
