In Color Kinesthesia, Senstad’s photography captures light and color as pure, independent phenomena, drawing on influences from Kazimir Malevich’s non-objective essence and Platonic philosophy. Her images align with the tradition of reductive abstraction, where simplicity and purity are paramount, stripping away extraneous details to focus on the essential. Light in Senstad’s work is not just a medium but the "visual absolute," a dynamic force that embodies both material and metaphysical qualities.
Senstad’s practice invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions, encouraging a deeper engagement with the intangible and profound aspects of reality. Her photography challenges traditional notions of materiality and representation, presenting light and color as dynamic, ever-changing phenomena that evoke sensory and emotional responses.
Anne Katrine Senstad is a multi-disciplinary artist based between New York and Oslo. Her work spans photography, film, neon sculpture, and light-based installations, with a focus on perception, light, sound, and color. She has exhibited globally, including at the 55th and 56th Venice Biennale, Bruges Art and Architecture Trienniale, He Xiangning Art Museum, and Kai Art Center. Senstad has received numerous grants, including the Norwegian Governmental Grant for Established Artists. In 2022, her monograph NEON GUIDES ME was published on Praun & Guermouche books, Stockholm.
Color Kinesthesia at IFAC Arts offers a visual meditation on the sensory and emotional experiences that define our interaction with the world, showcasing Senstad’s ability to capture the fleeting, the intangible, and the profound.
