Artist Statement

Michael Wolf takes up this topic in his work Street View and reinterprets the genre of the street photography in a highly unconventional way by using the almost inexhaustible picture pool of the Google Tool as basic material for his own images. With the camera in front of the screen he gets his images out of the automatically generated, authorless Google screens.
