Michael Wolf: Hong Kong Inside Out: Mit Texten von Natasha Egan, Hoyin Lee, Lynne DiStefano, Ernest Chui Book

German photographer Michael Wolf has been living in Hong Kong for more than 14 years. Focused on the specific visual elements he has depicted high density living in one of the world s most crowded cities. Hong Kong Inside Outside combines two major series of his work, carrying the titles, Architecture of Density and 100 x 100. For the first, Wolf has removed any trace of the horizon from the frame, capturing the relentless abstraction of the city s residential high-rises while exploring the spatial experience of its inhabitants. For the second series, Wolf has juxtaposed the anonymity of these exteriors with interior portraits of 100 individuals and families surrounded by all of their belongings in identical public housing spaces that measure 100 square feet. This study forms in part a typology that allows the viewer to study how individuals make the confined spaces their own. Published in two volumes with an accompanying slipcase, each book is filled with full-colour images published one to a page, and accompanied by several exploratory essays along with a short introduction from the photographer.Read More
