Informal Solutions / Architecture of Density / 100 x 100 / Hong Kong Corner Houses / Bottrop-Ebel / Magazine Stories / The Real Toy Story / Real Fake Art / Tokyo Compression / Google Street View / The Transparent City / Paris Rooftops / Bastard Chairs
A grandiose book, much more than just a catalog or a compilation. With more than 400 pictures, as well as texts by four authors on 296 pages, it illustrates how the different series, photographed in Bottrop-Ebel and Hong Kong, Chicago and Paris, Tokyo and Dafen, on Google Street View and in China, have developed over the decades to a multifaceted but consistent work of a major artist. From the beginnings during his studies and the work as a photojournalist to the artistic works of the last 20 years.
