This was from my other Senior project. The project was inspired by Michael Wolf's work in "The Transparent City". These are scanned 4x5's. I was exploring the very short window during the day where you can see into the windows of buildings but there is still ambient light in the sky. This was possibly one of my favorite projects ever, the photos turned out beautiful, I printed them HUGE in the dark room so the colors are just amazing.
(also the building to the right is one of Columbia's buildings ---my school) and used to work at the hotel haha so i love this photo
Anyway, I hope you like it!

this was another from my senior project back in '08 inspired by Michael Wolf's "Transparent City"
---it's mostly a comment on how people can be so close physically in urban areas (separated only by a ceiling) yet may never know or see each other in their entire lives.
--if you view LARGE you can see all of the detail that the 4x5 captured (i did lower the res some)...you can even see things like a plant sitting on a desk in the office.
Hopefully i adjusted some of the tint (the ambient light in the sky was very cool, so it was difficult...i think the final C-print took me probably 3 hours to print)

"ROBERT KOCH GALLERY is pleased to present Architecture of Density, an
exhibition of large scale color photographs by Michael Wolf.
Wolf has lived and worked in Hong Kong for ten years. Stimulated by the region's
complex urban dynamics, he makes dizzying photographs of its architecture.
One of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the world, Hong Kong
has an overall density of nearly 6,700 people per square kilometer. The majority of
its citizens live in flats in high-rise buildings. In Architecture of Density, Wolf
investigates these vibrant city blocks, finding a mesmerizing abstraction in the
buildings' facades.
Some of the structures in the series are photographed without reference to the
context of sky or ground, and many buildings are seen in a state of repair or
construction: their walls covered with a grid of scaffolding or the soft colored
curtains that protect the streets below from falling debris. From a distance, such
elements become a part of the photograph's intricate design.
Upon closer inspection of each photograph, the anonymous public face of the city
is full of rewarding detail- suddenly public space is private space, and large
swatches of color give way to smaller pieces of people's lives. The trappings of the
people are still visible here: their days inform the detail of these buildings. Bits of
laundry and hanging plants pepper the tiny rectangles of windows- the only
irregularities in this orderly design.
In 2002, the San Francisco Chronicle called Wolf's work in Hong Kong "most
improbable and humanly alert". In previous series, Wolf described the vernacular
culture of the street. His early vision of the region dwelt on personal aesthetic
gestures left in back doors and alleyways, such as makeshift seating in the streets.
In these photographs, small tokens of human presence took precedence over
monumental architecture. Wolf continues to explore the theme of the organic
metropolis- that which develops according to the caprice of its citizens as much as
the planning of its architects. In Architecture of Density, his vision has evolved to
evaluate the high-rises that shape the spatial experience of Hong Kong's citizens.
Wolf finds in each building a singular character, despite its functional purpose and
massive form.
Wolf was born in Munich, Germany in 1954. He studied first at the North Toronto"

Installation in Liberty's window, by Michael Wolf. It pays tribute to the Chinese factory workers who make 75% of the world's toys
