Modern Shanghai is an urban odyssey spanning a decade by photographic artist Chen Ronghui. Inspired by scholar Leo Ou-fan Lee’s seminal work on Shanghai’s modernity, Shanghai Modern: The Flowering of a New Urban Culture in China, Chen adopts a detached and objective gaze.
His work captures the city’s intricate tapestry where old meets new and East greets West. With sharp sensitivity, he registers the everyday existence and subtle emotions of ordinary individuals within the metropolis. Through artificial landscapes, intimate spaces, and street-level realities, the series critiques consumerism and urban modernization, unveiling the obscured truths and everyday life beneath the glamorous surface.
