Hong Kong Assemblage Deconstructed (*signed / not signed*)

@ Wolf, Michael

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.

This title presents groups of objects tied together or assembled, and each of these objects photographed individually.

PLEASE NOTE: We are offering TWO NEW copies of this book. One copy is still sealed in the original publisher's shrinkwrap, the other is SIGNED by Michael Wolf. Before adding the book to your cart, please make your selection (signed / not signed) below the price.

In this body of work, the artist documented life in a small mining town in the Ruhr District, a region he new quite well for having lived some time there.
