Exhibition in Shanghai: Was Shanghai in 1990 really like the one in Blossoms?

When the TV series Blossoms was a hit last year, there was a big controversy: many netizens thought the scenes in the drama didn't look like Shanghai in the 1990s, but more like Hong Kong. What was Shanghai like in 1990? Remove the filter of memory and see the real thing through a photography exhibition and the photos of a Dutch photographer. 🖼️ 1990-1993 Shanghai: Moments and Eternity 📌 Venue: Fotografiska Shanghai 📍 Address: No. 127 Guangfu Road, Shanghai (next to Sihang Warehouse) 💰 Tickets: 120/adult, 80/concession (children, seniors, students, etc.) In 1991, the French fashion magazine Vogue Hommes hired Dutch photographer Robert and writer and film director Emmanuel Carrère to come to Shanghai to shoot a special report. They didn't shoot too many famous attractions in Shanghai. Apart from some historical neighborhoods and the rising Pudong, the photographer and director chose to go deep into the streets and alleys of the city to feel and discover the real life of the people, leaving many vivid and interesting moments. I took my aunt, who recently returned to Shanghai to visit relatives, to the exhibition. She moved to the United States with her daughter in 1992, and these photos brought back many old memories for her and also took me back to my childhood. Fotografiska is a gallery focusing on photographic art, and there are currently four exhibitions going on. The pass allows you to visit all the exhibitions in the gallery. In addition to this photography exhibition about Shanghai in the 1990s, Extraordinary Realism is the first and largest African photography exhibition in Asia. It is rich in content and worth seeing. We bought a ticket + afternoon tea package. The café is located on the top floor of the 4th floor, with a spacious space, comfortable sofas, and an outdoor terrace. The package is cost-effective, but the taste is slightly ordinary. You can also choose to buy some souvenirs or have a cup of coffee at the art center store on the first floor. In the warm autumn sunshine, everything is so pleasant. Fotografiska Shanghai
