Fotoausstellung in der Leica Galerie WEISS WAR DER SCHNEE von Thomas Wrede
In the organizer's words:
WHITE WAS THE SNOW | Thomas Wrede
The series of works WHITE WAS THE SNOW by Thomas Wrede visualizes the melting of alpine glaciers. Wrapped in fleece cloths to protect against the warming climate, the different materials of weathered plastic fleece, dirty ice and gray stones can hardly be distinguished. Outside and inside, nature and plastic mingle and yet bear witness to completely contrasting worlds. The dilapidated "outer skin" contrasts with the fascinating play of colors and light of the
centuries-old layers of ice inside the shimmering bluish ice cave.
In the REAL LANDSCAPES series of works, the world is depicted as a kind of model kit, a borderline between model and reality, a photographic illusion due to the lack of scale in the real landscape.
Wrede's pictures move between staging and documentation, the themes vary between idyll and catastrophe. Photographs that question the nature of the landscape and at the same time our perception of nature.
"For me, photography brings together thinking and feeling, seeing and
remembering come together. To this day I try, without resorting to digital
digital montage techniques, to bring disparate worlds together in one image
together in one image: Large and small, near and far, natural and artificial, inside and outside.
and artificial, inside and outside. I strive to create visual
ambiguities that are only possible in a photographic image.
possible in a photographic image. The viewing process is kept open and
can provide impulses for a new observation and perception."
