Michael Wolf: trasparent city
PHOTOGRAPHY _ I am incredibly fascinated by Michael Wolf’s photography. The German photographer, who spent the vast majority of his career in Asia, "trained his eye" to frame the alienating prospective of contemporary city life.
His favorite subject is brutal architecture, architecture of density, where he focuses the city’s sky-scraping tower blocks eliminating the sky and horizon line to flatten each image and turn these facades into seemingly never-ending abstractions.
The role of the people became marginal, just some small and tiny silhouettes appear behind a blind, like a spot in the rigid geometry composition of steel and concrete.
Wolf’s photographs reveal a desire to document and connect with the world around him, but with a contemporary visual approach, taking inspiration from the work of masters like Andreas Gursky or Thomas Struth.
The focus of the German photographer Michael Wolf’s work is life in mega cities. Many of his projects document the architecture and the vernacular culture of metropolises. Wolf grew up in Canada, Europe and the United States. He moved to Hong Kong in 1994 where he worked for 8 years as contract photographer for Stern magazine.

Private House in Athens
This private house of a total 1000m2 is located on a plot of land of 7000m2. The house was designed in order to give the sense of hovering over the water and sailing, inspired by the owners love for yachts. The bioclimatic design of the residence, the cooling feeling of the house through the contact of water and the use of sun and the geothermic energy are consistent in developing a highly dynamic and modern but also eco friendly design.
