Dried Fish

Michael Wolf showed for the first time his series of work: 'Dried Fish' at Cheung Chau Wave 2017.

Wolf is well known for exploring Hong Kong's identity through various projects mainly exploring its urban culture and cityscapes. This time Wolf turns his attention to objects that are quintessential to Hong Kong's food culture: dried fish. Each specimen is displayed in oversized prints floating in mid-air accentuating its translucent nature while revealing its smallest details.

This exhibition was curated by Sarah Greene

 Michael Wolf has published his photo series that explore interesting aspects of the urban phenomena in more than 30 photo books, including his celebrated series 'Architecture of Density' and 'Informal Solutions.' Born in Germany and worked as a former photojournalist in Europe and the US, Michael Wolf has since turned his attention to capturing the overlooked qualities of big cities. In particular, his fascination with the city of Hong Kong – where he is based since 1994 – has produced his most important bodies of work.

邁克爾·沃爾夫已經出版了30多本探索城市現象有趣一面的相冊，包括他著名的“密度建築”和“非正式解決方案”系列。出生於德國，曾在歐洲和美國從事攝影記者的工作，之後，邁克爾·沃爾夫把注意力轉向捕捉大城市被忽視的特質。特別是他對自1994年以來居住的香港的痴迷已經成為了他最重要的工作。

Michael spent the last 2 years of his life living on Cheung Chau - we are proud to have known him as an artist, friend and part of our island community.
