“[Michael Wolf] has captured the towering pastel facades of its high rise architecture in a vein similar to Thomas Struth or Andreas Gursky, but perhaps more interestingly he has delved into the hidden maze of the city�s back alleys. What he found and has faithfully documented, are the innumerable abstract urban still lifes seen throughout. All the city�s flotsam and jetsam, from clusters of gloves and clothes hangers, to networks of pipes and a full colour spectrum of plastic bags, are photographed in strange, but entirely happenstance arrangements.
(Herakleitos is opportune of course: �The most beautiful order of the world is still a random gathering of things insignificant in themselves.� Ho kalistos ho kosmos!)
