In 1994, Wolf moved to Hong Kong, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for \u003cem\u003eStern Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e. The core of Wolf's work consisted of capturing life in megacities.

Wolf's photographs are displayed in dialogue with the acerbic and ambiguous drawings of Arpaïs du Bois (°1973). Based on intense engagement with Wolf's series of images, she reflects on unnoticed moments and events that characterise life in the metropolis. The visual exchange between photographs and drawings took shape during du Bois' stay of several weeks in Hong Kong (2004), during which the two artists observed the city both together and individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelling Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe posthumous release of the last book that Michael Wolf himself worked on, published to mark the fifth anniversary of his death.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48147292979436,"sku":"9789464941203","price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9789464941203-hong-kong-whispers.jpg?v=1786448498"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/arpais-du-bois.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
