About
Why this artist matters now
Karl Baden is an American photographer born in 1952 whose practice centers on self-portraiture and the documentary investigation of identity through repeated, systematic image-making. Working primarily in color photography, he has developed an archival approach that treats the photograph as evidence and index rather than expression. His work engages with questions of time, accumulation, and the self as both subject and object of scrutiny.
