Michael Wolf explores the humdrum and the ordinary in the city of Chicago. After years of photographing architectural and space form he was surprised to discover a tiny figure in one of his photos giving him the finger. Wolf went over his photographs expecting to be excited by action in every window, but discovered the opposite.
Geoff Manough quotes Wolf:
But it was a little sad to see, night after night, in all these buildings, that it was really just single people between the ages of twenty-five and forty, tired after work, sitting on the sofa watching TV. I was a bit disillusioned. I thought it would be more exciting than that.
