本攝影集介紹給讀者文化氣息豐富的香港後巷，剖析和探討香港人的生活真相。
香港的後巷並不單純是為方便途人游走市內的捷徑，更不是為收藏雜物和垃圾而設的空間，它其實有獨特的個性。
攝影大師吳爾夫這本新攝影集肯定能帶給讀者意外的收獲，他沒有拍攝宏偉的城市建築，反而沿用了一貫的手法，漫不經意的把看似平平無奇的影像，引導讀者去細看香港的尋常巷陌，尋回似曾相識的生活感覺。他衝破卷軸研究的框框，走訪大里小巷，循人類學的角度用攝影機去捕捉香港城市面貌含蓄的一面。
經過精挑細選，攝影集收錄了這個大城小巷裡各式各樣的生活片段，例如給小職員忙裏偷閒的後門，等待着主人回來小休的空椅，珍藏着各式各樣雜物的空隙。 To many people, back alleys are dark and dirty places that draw neither fascination nor inspiration. But not to the internationally renowned German Photographer Michael Wolf, who has been fascinated and inspired by the happenings in Hong Kong’s back alleys. His new book Informal Solutions: Observations and Around Hong Kong’s Back Alleys (2016) is a documentation of his discoveries through his past 13 years of exploration.
Born in Germany and worked as a former photojournalist in Europe and the US, Michael Wolf has since turned his attention to capturing the overlooked qualities of big cities. In particular, his fascination with the city of Hong Kong–where he is based since 1994 – has produced many photographic artworks that are collected by internationally renowned museums and galleries, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, San Jose Museum of Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago.
In his new book, Michael Wolf presents the many manifestations of culture and life in Hong Kong’s back alley, where spaces are utilized in the most imaginative and unexpected ways. Through his discerning eyes, objects captured in photographs appear to transcend from their humble utilitarian origin to magnificent works of urban installation art.
