MIT Museum Talks is an ongoing video series, providing a closer look at objects and ideas through the lens of museum staff and guest speakers. Here, "The Polaroid Project" curator Barbara Hitchcock talks about Barbara Kasten’s “construct” photographs, which were created using intricate sets of sculpture, mirrors, and light.
This talk was originally offered during a 2020 virtual event in conjunction with our exhibition “The Polaroid Project: At the Intersection of Art and Technology.” #MIT #MITMuseumTalks #Polaroid
