Past Dream • New Comer - The views of a post-80s Photographer
Yang ZHOU
As a fast developing city in China, Shanghai's old neighborhoods are disappearing at a horrible speed, along with them the lives and memories of people who have lived there for a century. Young and brought up in apartment though I am, I've witnessed that a block of old alleys was torn down within one year, which is quite sad for me even though I have never lived there. Facing the so-called "system", no one can do anything to stop it. This sense of vulnerability urges me to take photos of more similar places.
Documentary: Guardian of City Memory
M50 now has become one of the most famous creative centers in Shanghai and a tourist interest of Shanghai’s early industry. However, few knows that it once faced the destiny of being pulling down altogether, but thanks to the efforts of Ms HAN Yuqi and her colleagues, it was saved just before the construction. At the end of year 2006, HAN published her new book < It all Started from Silence> and this “guardian of city memory” started to pay attention to more areas.
Perseverance Wide field camera, a type of ancient camera which seems to be out-of-date for most people interested in photography, is the dream of a 76-year-old gentleman. Once upon a time, GUO Jiaping nearly became the father of China’s wide field camera but didn’t get the chance due to the limit of that era. Now, he keeps this dream despite of all the difficulties.

Documentary about Maleonn Director LIU Xi will come to discuss with the audience
Backgrounds: Thus says Maleonn
Visual art is a challenge to language expression. Photography by itself is silent—it cannot tell anything specific. To me, this is our fate. What we own is quite limited. The camera cannot provide logic or clues, but some ambiguous symbols. Fortunately, it’s not the end. It is this ambiguity of visual signs that makes a puzzle for the viewer. Where there’s a puzzle, there’re explorers. The curiosity of human beings will force them into the puzzle and to search the way out. That’s the most wonderful part. Everyone find his own exit during this search and interpretation, and thus the puzzle becomes rich and transparent.
A documentary about Maleonn
LIU Xi
A summer afternoon, I found a photo album entitled “Shanghai Fable”. On the front page are some words: “The city itself is meaningless. The fact that we live here gives the city and our lives meaning.” The photos in this album are like paintings and dreams, full of emotion. At the beginning of each series, some poem. “Life is a circus show without audience. We perform for ourselves lonely. Yet even if we don’t have audience, we have to live, to the abundance of life.” I was curious about the artist’s thoughts.
I began to shoot this documentary about Maleonn, the artist last August. It was hard. Once we worked overnight, I was so tired that I nearly fell asleep.
