Hong Kong Trilogy (*signed*)
978-394182559-8
New
One of the classic photobooks in the series of small volumes of thematic photographs by Michael Wolf from the streets of Hong Kong. This series was a close collaboration between Michael Wolf and publisher Hannes Wanderer from Peperoni Books.
Michael Wolf lived in Hong Kong and walked the streets of the city for over 20 years, turning his eyes and lens to the habits and idiosyncrasies of the inhabitants and street sellers who spend their days and weeks usually on the same spot and leave some of their material tethered to fences, water pipes and other street furniture. Wolf's images always focus on the objects, and we never get to see the owners.
Hong Kong Trilogy is a tribute to the street workers, cleaners and people of Hong Kong who leave their gear, material and clothes in the streets, in odd places, in the middle of the sidewalk, making for some strange and unusual sights.
Michael Wolf was fond of these little arrangements of things; he has spent many years in the streets of Hong Kong looking for these objects. This "trilogy" is divided in three types of objects: mops, gloves and hangers.
The copy is NEW and SIGNED by Michael Wolf.
