Nine Rooms, 2007

"A single image doesn't tell you much, but seen as a collection; a pattern emerges to form a meaningful narrative." —Michael Wolf Aperture is pleased to offer this very special limited-edition photograph from one of Michael Wolf's previous series, 100 x 100, which he recently published in book form as Michael Wolf: Hong Kong Inside Outside (2009). For more than fourteen years, the artist has been living and working in Hong Kong. Focusing his camera on specific views and elements, Wolf has explored high-density living in one of the most crowded cities on the globe. The 100 x 100 series, and specifically Nine Rooms, explores the "inside" of those who dwell within that density.

Michael Wolf (b. 1954, Munich, Germany; d. 2019, Cheung Chau, Hong Kong) was a German-born artist and photographer who had a unique approach to documenting daily life in big cities. Primarily working in Hong Kong and Paris, he captured photographs of human life and interactions within the city’s architectural patterns and structures. Wolf studied at UC Berkley and the University of Essen with Otto Steinert in Germany. His books include Sitting in China (2002), Hong Kong, Front Door/Back Door (2005), and The Transparent City (Museum of Contemporary Photography/Aperture, 2008).
