In 1994, Wolf moved to Hong Kong, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for <em>Stern Magazine<\/em>. The core of Wolf&rsquo;s work consisted of capturing life in megacities. Many of his projects depict the architecture and popular culture of metropolises, and <strong><em>Hong Kong Whispers<\/em><\/strong> is no exception.<br \/>\nThis book contains a stunning series of photos showing the vibrant global city of Hong Kong. Wolf&rsquo;s photographs are displayed in dialogue with the acerbic and ambiguous drawings of Arpa&iuml;s Du Bois (&deg;1973). Based on intense engagement with Wolf&rsquo;s series of images, she reflects on unnoticed moments and events that characterize life in the metropolis. The visual exchange between photographs and drawings took shape during Du Bois&rsquo; stay of several weeks in Hong Kong (2004), during which the two artists observed the city both together and individually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book contains a stunning series of photos showing the vibrant global city of Hong Kong.
