Description

The publication Sceneries provides comprehensive insight into the diverse and multilayered work of the German photographer Thomas Wrede (b. 1963). It brings together for the first time works from the last 25 years, including well-known series such as Domestic Landscapes, which present complex 'picture-in-picture' situations in photo wallpapers, and Die Vögel stehen in der Luft und schreien (The Birds Hang in the Air and Scream), black-and-white photographs of largely fatal collisions of birds with glass windows.
The starting point of Wrede's photographic oeuvre is always the yearning for nature and the question as to how this can be medially transmitted. With his new works from the series Real Sceneries, he explores the boundaries between real and surreal worlds and presents us with an exciting interplay of truth and fiction. In doing so, he consciously shifts these boundaries and questions photography's fidelity to reality.
