Michael Wolf

m97 Gallery, Shanghai

Small God, Big City, an exhibition of photographic works. It takes the viewer through the oeuvre of one of Asia's most prolific photographers. The show features over 100 small and large format photographs from seven of Wolf's bodies of work: My Favorite Things, Hong Kong Back Door (2003), Scout Shots, Architecture of Density (2003-07), Industrial Architecture (2006), Tokyo Compression (2010), and Small God, Big City (2012). Wolf's camera is always interested in the human footprint and traces of the individual left, and often lost, amidst the chaotic density of the Asian megacity of Hong Kong, where Wolf has lived since the 1990s. The traces of human makeshift ingenuity recorded by Wolf is not sardonic whimsy, but fascination with the creative and improvisational ability and resilience of the individual, who is forced to be resourceful in an unfriendly environment where physical space has been commercialized and commoditized perhaps more than anywhere else on the planet. Artist Reception: Saturday 7th December 2013, 16 - 18.
