CODE OF HONOR

A very special aspect of Thomas Wunsch's entire photographic work are images that can be described as informal or abstract. This informal-abstract area of ​​his work has been published as CD cover photos by the renowned Munich record label ECM for 25 years.
The focus of his photos is on the viewer, because the lack of any clue as to what was photographed leaves a lot of room for interpretation. And these interpretations are as different as people are. Every viewer sees something different in his photographs. This is also what makes them so appealing and is an important part of his photographic concept.
In addition to abstraction, the CODE series also shows fragments of typography and/or numbers whose original meaning has been lost, thereby further enhancing the mystique of these photographs.
