Tokyo Compression Three is a collection of works by German photographer Michael Wolf (1954-2019). Born in Munich in 1954, Wolf spent his student years in the United States and Canada, then returned to Germany to study visual communication at the University of Essen under Otto Steinert. He began working as a journalist in the 1990s and spent several years in Hong Kong on a commission from Germany's prestigious Stern magazine, but gradually shifted his focus to fine art as the magazine industry declined. Since then, he has produced significant works that depict the "landscapes," "expressions," and "fragments" of various parts of the world, especially large cities, from various angles, with the theme of "cities." In particular, the portraits in this book, which are based on the motif of crowded trains on the Tokyo subway, are known as Wolf's masterpieces. This is the third installment of the subway series. These masterpieces capture the diverse expressions and feelings of people living in the city.
