Michael Wolf's urban landscapes

Having read Kobo Abe's book 'Box Man' about a man who resigns himself to literaly living inside a box, I was drawn to Michael Wolf's series of photos 'The box men of shinjuku station'.

Michael Wolf's collections of urban photography are right up my street. By flattening the depth of field in photos from series' such as 'Architecture of density' and 'Paris rooftops' he highlights just how pressed together homes in urban spaces can be.
