Architecture of Density
Michael Wolf's Architecture of Density is on display at Robert Koch Gallery in San Francisco until April 6.
His large-scale color photographs illustrate the unbelievable density of Hong Kong's residential high-rises. Like something out of a Sci-Fi movie, the images tend to eliminate the greater context and focus on the sheer repetition of floors, windows, air conditioners, laundry, etc. Amazing stuff.
The bottom image reminds me of one of my favorite oddities from the past, Kowloon Walled City.

So I'm not the only one who thought Kowloon.
ReplyDeleteThe top image looks like a composite, but after viewing the site it seems to be... real? Wow, scary. Many of these resemble something out of Bladerunner or Fifth Element. Welcome to the future.
Amazing! Thanks for bringing Wolf to my attention.
