James Casebere (born 1953) emerged in the Pictures Generation (1974-84) as an artist-photographer who, alongside Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince, complicated the status of the photographic image. His earliest works dismantled the codes of American suburbia and the myth of the West, but he quickly arrived at the practice for which he is best known today : the construction of formally simplified architectural models-arenas, monasteries, tunnels, factories-which Casebere masterfully lights and photographs in his studio. In the early 1990s, as the ramifications of Michel Foucaults critiques of architecture and power took hold in American culture, Caseberes practice developed into a study of architectural typologies of the Enlightenment during the 17th and 18th centuries-particularly prisons. The lighting in his photographs is dramatic, or rather it plays with the rhetoric of dramatic lighting, qualified by the sheer artifice f the architectural models themselves.
