Humid, crammed, compressed. Photographer Michael Wolf captures the everyday horrors imposed on Japanese commuters by Tokyo's underground system.   Part of this series is currently exhibited at Street.Life.Photography. at Kunst Haus Wien. As the title suggests, the exhibition depicts the evolution of street photography over the years. Discover digital as well as analog works of renowned names such as Martin Parr or Wolfgang Tillmanns but also Viennese photographer Alex Dietrich.  

Monday evening, end of October in Vienna. With some delay, autumn has arrived in the Austrian capital. Nobody is on the streets, because the cold keeps the people in the houses. The only companion on these days is the biting wind that runs over the woolen hats and scarves. But a building next to the Wienfluss in the center of the city is an exception. There, people of all ages are rushing into the large entrance area as if it were the final sale at Zara. However, their interest in this evening is not on fashion but on design. Because the most famous Austrian representative of this branch of industry is in the city. An event that electrifies the masses in Austria.

As a former secretary of state for culture in Berlin and CEO of Universal Music, Tim Renner is an expert when it comes to unleashing your full creative potential.
