Street View Triptych #2 (Animals), 2009

Michael Wolf's new Street View project—a natural progression of explorations of population density, privacy, and architecture—uses Google's street view technology to reveal the more subtle, symbolic aspects of the urban experience. Departing from his typical large-format photographs, Wolf spent hundreds of hours searching the world by mouse-click rather than through his lens, the results of which are as timely as they are remarkable.

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).
