EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shanghai. School recess in a 'nursery' of Shanghai" takes us back to the bustling streets of China's vibrant city in 1974. Captured by the talented photographer Folco Quilici, this image offers a glimpse into the daily lives of young students during their school recess. The scene unfolds with an air of innocence and curiosity as children fill the frame, their youthful energy palpable even through the lens. The composition is filled with movement and life; boys and girls engage in various activities, some playing games while others chat animatedly or simply observe their surroundings. Amidst this lively atmosphere, one cannot help but notice the unique setting referred to as a "nursery". It serves as both a playground and educational space for these eager learners. The backdrop showcases traditional Chinese architecture, with ornate rooftops peeking out from behind walls adorned with intricate patterns. This juxtaposition between tradition and modernity encapsulates Shanghai's dynamic spirit during that era. Quilici skillfully captures not only the physical environment but also the emotions radiating from each child's face – joy, curiosity, mischief – all intertwined within this snapshot frozen in time. Their uniforms reflect discipline while their expressions reveal boundless enthusiasm for life's simple pleasures. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Alinari archives, it transports us beyond geographical boundaries to experience a moment shared by generations past. It reminds us that regardless of time or place, childhood remains universal – a period defined by exploration, friendship, and unbridled imagination. In its essence lies an invitation to cherish our own memories of youth while appreciating how different cultures shape those formative years. Quilici invites us on an evocative journey through history via his lens - one that encourages reflection on our shared humanity amidst diverse backgrounds across continents.
