EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shanghai. Winter views" by Quilici, Folco takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Shanghai during the winter season in 1969. In this mesmerizing image, we are transported to a bustling street corner in Shanghai, where snowflakes delicately fall from the sky, creating a serene and magical atmosphere. The entire scene is blanketed with a pristine layer of snow, transforming the cityscape into a winter wonderland. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable. Quilici's keen eye for detail captures every element perfectly - from the intricate patterns formed by footprints on the snowy ground to the graceful silhouettes of people bundled up against the cold. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and dimension to each building facade that lines the street. As we gaze at this frozen moment in time, we can almost feel ourselves immersed in its chilly embrace. We imagine hearing distant laughter and conversations echoing through these wintry streets as locals go about their daily lives amidst such picturesque surroundings. Quilici's masterful use of monochrome enhances our perception of this scene even further; it allows us to focus solely on shapes, textures, and emotions without any distractions. It evokes feelings of nostalgia while simultaneously reminding us that beauty can be found even in harsh weather conditions. This extraordinary photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document capturing Shanghai's unique charm during one particular winter nearly five decades ago. It invites us to reflect upon how cities evolve over time while preserving their inherent character despite changing seasons or passing years.
