Thomas Wrede @ FAZ

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reports in this article that Thomas Wrede sees the glaciers in his photographs not only as natural phenomena but also as symbols of the climate crisis.

Wrede documents glaciers that are protected from melting by tarps – a desperate attempt to delay the inevitable. His photographs combine art with science and show how idyll and catastrophe intertwine.
