EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shanghai. Junks on the Yangtse River, at the entrance of the Shanghai harbour" takes us back in time to 1977, capturing a moment of tranquility amidst the bustling cityscape of Shanghai, China. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is none other than Folco Quilici, renowned for his ability to freeze moments that transport viewers into different worlds. In this particular shot, we find ourselves standing on the banks of the mighty Yangtse River as it gracefully flows towards its final destination - the vastness of the sea. A fleet of traditional Chinese junks peacefully sail along its waters, their sails billowing gently in harmony with nature's rhythm. These ancient vessels stand as a testament to China's rich maritime history and cultural heritage. At first glance, one cannot help but be struck by how perfectly balanced this composition is; each element seems meticulously placed within frame. The juxtaposition between these elegant junks and modern skyscrapers looming in the background creates an intriguing contrast between tradition and progress. The monochromatic palette adds depth and intensity to every detail captured by Quilici's lens – from intricate patterns adorning each junk's sails to subtle reflections dancing upon rippling waves. It invites us to explore every nook and cranny within this snapshot frozen in time. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder that despite rapid urbanization and technological advancements over decades since its capture, certain elements endure throughout history—reminders that traditions can coexist harmoniously alongside progress if we choose to preserve them. Quilici's masterpiece transports us not only across space but also through time—a visual portal connecting our present with Shanghai's past—an invitation for reflection on how far we have come while cherishing what remains unchanged deep within our collective memory.
