Shanghai

The Chinese artist uses the backdrop of commercial photoshoots to create new, unexpected narratives through the manipulation of bodies & objects in space. The series also speaks of the relationship between Western capitalist motifs and the global contexts

The first title in a three-part series containing examinations about architectural development of cities in Asia includes mostly fullpaged colour images from Japan, Taiwan, South Corea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, China & Laos made from 2014 to 2019.

The travel diary 'See Saw' by Antonia HENSCHEL takes us to 10 places worldwide. From London to Venice and Tokyo. Connecticut, is followed by Taipei & Shanghai and Marrakech by Seoul. A foggy stretch of forest on the Moselle and a visit to Odawara, Tokyo.

The book, 'Shanghai' by Bettina RHEIMS, is the result of her search for the spirit of the women of Shanghai. But these staged photographs of women from all walks of life in the old city show a place so fast moving and evolving that her search became moot.
