Michael Wolf’s Small God, Big City looks at the architecture, dynamics and rich vernacular culture of Hong Kong. Particularly focussing on the Earth God shrines commonly located by the doorways of shops and homes throughout the city, Wolf examines these spiritual spaces as peripheral figures. This publication features an essay by Lee Ho Yin and interviews with several shrine custodians, illuminating the relevance of these shrines in daily life.
