In his photo series German photo artist Thomas Wrede (*1963) 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.
