Michael Wolf 吳爾夫 (1954—2019)

What makes Michael Wolf stand above other photographers is his knack for capturing things that appear mundane and inconsequential within the chaos of the urban environment, and turning them into thought-provoking discoveries. Wolf makes us look at and appreciate the surprising multitude of delightful urban phenomena that we tend to overlook or under appreciate. By this means, he challenges the assumptions we have about the city we think we know. Wolf’s publications include Hong Kong Corner Houses and Small God, Big City: Earth God Shrines in Urban Hong Kong.

吳爾夫在攝影界中傲視同儕，是他能以卓越的攝影技巧，把煩囂都市生活中捕捉到平平無奇的小事，換化成令人細味的影像。我們自以為很了解這個城市，吳爾夫卻利用攝影，讓我們體會到這些被我們忽略的有趣景象。吳爾夫的出版作品包括>《街頭街尾》和《繁華都市小小神：香港市區中的土地神位》。
