In his photo series German photo artist Thomas Wrede juggles
with real-life content versus constructedness in photography construed
as a mirror of reality. His invented spaces start out as actual views of
nature, landscapes and cities and are then taken to the threshold of
absurdist surrealism and ambiguity.
Wrede creates in his photographic
worlds room for longings and utopias located somewhere beyond time and
space. The catalog for the exhibition, Anywhere, which will run in
parallel at the Museum Kunst der Westküste in Alkersum on the Island of
Föhr and at the stiftung kunst:raum sylt quelle, covers two of the
artist’s outstanding photo series in recent years: Real Landscapes and
Seascapes.
