"Hong Kong Inside Outside" is a collection of works by German photographer Michael Wolf (1954-2019). Born in Munich in 1954, he spent his student years in the United States and Canada, then returned to Germany to study visual communication at the University of Essen under Otto Steinert. He began working as a journalist in the 1990s and spent several years in Hong Kong on a commission from the prestigious German magazine Stern, but gradually shifted his focus to fine art as he watched the magazine industry decline. Since then, he has produced significant works that depict the "landscapes," "expressions," and "fragments" of various parts of the world, especially large cities, from various angles, with the theme of "cities." He is also famous for his portraits of crowded trains on the Tokyo subway. This is a two-volume set set in Hong Kong, with the "front side" of abstracted inorganic buildings and the "inside" depicting the daily lives of people living in those buildings through interiors and portraits, and the contrast between the front and back is unique in this collection of works.
