EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steffen Schnur titled "Shanghai contrast old / new" captures the stark juxtaposition between tradition and progress in one of China's most vibrant cities. In the foreground, we witness a demolition area where remnants of old houses lay scattered as debris. These decaying structures still house the last ancient inhabitants who cling onto their heritage until these buildings are eventually demolished to make way for modern development. The image tells a story of transformation and change, symbolizing Shanghai's rapid urbanization. As we shift our gaze towards the background, towering high-rise residences emerge, reaching towards the sky like beacons of modernity. The contrast between these sleek skyscrapers and the crumbling ruins in front creates a powerful visual narrative that encapsulates Shanghai's ever-evolving landscape. Schnur skillfully captures this moment of transition with his keen eye for detail and composition. The photograph invites viewers to contemplate not only the physical changes occurring but also reflects on themes such as progress, loss, and preservation of cultural heritage. Through this thought-provoking image, Schnur reminds us that amidst Shanghai's relentless march towards modernity lies a delicate balance between preserving its rich history while embracing an exciting future.
