Living in Hong-Kong no doubt inspired German-born photographer photographer Michael Wolf into creating this project which poses questions like ‘How many people can live together in one building?’, ‘What is life like in these mega structures?’ and ’Surely there’s a bit of Photoshop going on here?’
His close-cropped depictions of the urban landscape around him produce, what at first glance, can appear to be simple geometric abstract patterns. It’s only when you look closer and you see evidence of daily life like washing hung-out of windows to dry that you realise these are Mega Cities of Judge Dredd proportions.
