EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shanghai. People on the streets of the old neighborhood" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of China's vibrant city, Shanghai. Captured by renowned photographer Folco Quilici in 1974, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily lives of locals in one of Shanghai's oldest neighborhoods. The image transports us to a different era, where traditional architecture lines the narrow streets and people go about their daily routines. The scene is filled with an air of authenticity as men and women clad in traditional attire navigate through the busy thoroughfare. Their faces tell stories of resilience, hard work, and perhaps even moments of joy amidst life's challenges. Quilici masterfully captures both movement and stillness within this frame. The blurred figures walking briskly create a sense of urgency while contrasting against those who pause momentarily – perhaps engaged in conversation or simply taking a momentary respite from their endeavors. The composition highlights architectural details that have stood witness to generations passing by: ornate doorways adorned with intricate carvings, hanging lanterns casting soft illumination onto weathered facades, and laundry strung across balconies creating an intimate connection between neighbors. As we gaze at this photograph today, we are reminded not only of Shanghai's rich cultural heritage but also how much it has evolved over time. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit and resilience displayed by its inhabitants throughout history. Quilici's skillful eye for capturing authentic moments allows us to travel back in time through his lens - immersing ourselves into an era long gone yet forever preserved within this remarkable photographic print from Alinari.
