MICHAEL WOLF – TOKYO COMPRESSION
2017-06-05Michael Wolf is known for capturing the hyper-density of the city of Hong Kong in his large-scale photographs of its high-risearchitecture. In his series Tokyo Compression, Wolf centres on the subsurface crush of the Tokyo subway, in which thousands of commuters make their daily journeys between work and home. Photographing individuals pressed against the windows of the crowded trains during the morning rush hour, Wolf’s images are a disquieting metaphor for the conditions of city-dwellers in today’s dense urban centres.
