EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of Shanghai's vibrant local market, this vintage photograph by Quilici, Folco takes us on a captivating journey back to 1977. Immersed in the bustling streets of China's most populous city, we are transported to a time when tradition and modernity coexisted harmoniously. The image portrays an enchanting scene filled with colors, aromas, and life. Rows upon rows of market stalls stretch out as far as the eye can see, each one offering a unique glimpse into Shanghai's rich cultural tapestry. The hustle and bustle of daily life are palpable; vendors passionately haggle with customers while locals navigate through the maze-like alleys brimming with fresh produce and exotic goods. Quilici's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every aspect of this dynamic marketplace. From intricately woven textiles cascading from shopfronts to baskets overflowing with succulent fruits and vegetables that seem almost too tempting to resist - each element tells its own story within this larger narrative. Beyond its visual appeal, this photograph also serves as a historical artifact capturing an important moment in time. 1977 marked a pivotal period for China as it began opening up economically after years of isolation. This image encapsulates both the timeless traditions deeply rooted in Chinese culture alongside glimpses of change that were starting to emerge. As we gaze at this remarkable print from Alinari, our senses come alive – we can almost taste the flavors wafting through the air and feel the energy pulsating through these ancient streets. It is a testament not only to Quilici's artistic talent but also to his ability to transport us across continents and decades with just one click of his camera shutter.
