Michael Wolf has lived in Hong Kong since 1995 and has regularly visited China over the last nine years. He is a freelance photographer who has worked on assignment for various publications - and, in particular, as a photo-journalist for the German magazine, 'Stern'. Recently, Michael has concentrated on his own photograph projects - and in this exhibition Michael presents large colour photographic portraits of people he has met in China - a series of work documenting people in a rapidly changing China. Michael Wolf says: "'Portraits of Chinese People' is an ongoing project which I began working on in 1999. These are people who catch my eye or interest whilst I am travelling through China. I am interested in the sociology of the people (e.g. what clothes they wear, their surroundings and what this tells us about them), rather than their psychology (how they feel.) I am a great admirer of the German photographer August Sander, whose own body of work "Citizens of the 20th Century" inspired me to begin this project."
