The last of the photobooks in the classic 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. This last volume was published by Buchkunst Berlin after the passing of Hannes Wanderer.
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 volume presents clothes drying, pieces of cloth possibly blown by the wind hanging here and there, sometimes in odd places...
We are offering brand new copies of this volume, in the original publisher's shrinkwrap.
