michael wolf is a photographer living and working in hong kong, "stimulated by the region's complex urban dynamics, he makes dizzying photographs of its architecture."

from a review by alison bing of his most recent exhibition of these large-scale photographs: by day, wolf's hulking, drab gray tower block makes us all the more attentive to colorful details: a child's red pajamas hung out to dry...this is hong kong at its intimate best and anonymous worst, all in one photo -- but it's much more than that, even. wolf's photos distill all of city life as we know it down to its oxymoronic essence: layer upon layer of existential ennui and pulsating vitality, slabs of concrete and the signs of life that miraculously break through it.
