Posthumous release of the last book that Michael Wolf himself worked on, following his five-year death.
Award-winning German photographer Michael Wolf (1954–2019) grew up in Canada, Europe and the United States. In 1994, Wolf moved to Hong Kong, where he worked as a contract photographer for Stern Magazine for eight years. The core of Wolf’s work lies in capturing life in megacities. Many of his projects capture the architecture and folk culture of metropolises, including Hong Kong Whispers.
This book shows a stunning series of photos about the vibrant metropolis of Hong Kong. Wolf’s photographs are placed in dialogue with the sharp and ambiguous drawings of Belgian artist Arpaïs Du Bois (b. 1973). Based on her intense involvement with Wolf’s series of images, she reflects on unnoticed moments and events that characterize life in the metropolis. Their visual exchange between photographs and drawings took shape during Du Bois’ weeks-long stay in Hong Kong (2014), during which both observed the city, together and each for themselves.
