To start off a cooperation between Henn Gallery, Munich and Beck & Eggeling International Fine Art, Düsseldorf, the German photographer Thomas Wrede (*1963) will show works from his series Manhattan Picture Worlds. The Vernissage will be on Thursday, 4th March, 7 p.m. at Henn Gallery, Augustenstrasse 54 in Munich, with introductory words by Dr. Inka Graeve Ingelmann, Head of Department Photography and New Media, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich.
Wrede has photographed oversized advertisements in the centre of New York City between the years 2003 and 2008, which he treats as incorporated elements of architecture in his pictures. As in earlier works by Wrede e.g. the Real Landscapes- or Small Worlds series, the artist plays with dimensions as well as different layers of perception and reality. Manhattan Picture Worlds does not use the conquering drive that the huge poster surfaces have on the outside world as a starting point, but rather as a visual terminus. In this way, the radical fusion of the advertising image with real space is viewed from the vantage point of the passerby." (Christoph Schaden, catalogue, p. 109).
Wrede graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, Münster, in 1992. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in Germany and abroad and won prizes such as the German Contemporary Art Award, Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken, Frankfurt, or the Karl-Hofer-Award by the University of Fine Arts, Berlin. He lives in Münster, and works in Europe and the USA.

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
