Art Shows
The Void Migrates to the Surface @ Fotografiska Shanghai
Andrea Galvani presents The Void Migrates to the Surface—the Italian-born, international artist's first solo exhibition in Asia.
In his latest cinematic masterpiece, the artist uses super-slow motion technology to extend the brief lives of 20 rare and endangered butterfly species from just a few weeks to 73 years, aligning the lifespan of butterflies with the global average human life expectancy.
As the butterflies move, visitors observe the subtle passage of time through their natural aging process—the fraying of wings, the fall of iridescent scales, and the shimmering traces they leave behind.
Accompanying the visuals is a soundtrack specifically developed for the exhibition by celebrated composer and musician Federico Albanese.
Luminous yet melancholic, intricate yet hopeful, the music interprets the images' majestic power—melodically synchronizing the visual ascent and descent, stillness and motion that unravel across a different order of time.
The Void Migrates to the Surface crystallizes a gradual, graceful choreography of flight—of fragility and resilience, delicacy and monumentality.

Sebastião Salgado @ Fotografiska Shanghai
The first major posthumous retrospective of the recently departed Sebastião Salgado (1944–2025).
As one of the most influential documentary photographers of the contemporary era, Salgado's photographs operate not only as historical documents but as interventions within cultural and political discourse.
From the famines and wars of 1970s Africa to laborers in the tide of global industrialization, from rural Latin American cultures to the untouched wonders of Genesis, his work documents the human condition, global inequalities, and the fragile relationship between humanity and the natural world through incisive insight and a distinctive aesthetic.
Widely recognized for the aesthetic rigor and ethical urgency of his work, Salgado's images transcend conventional documentary photography, offering a visual language that merges journalistic inquiry with a profound humanist perspective, creating timeless works of both social significance and artistic mastery.
His lens gave visibility to the invisible, the marginalized, and the endangered—all are rendered visible with clarity and monumental beauty, challenging audiences to confront the social, environmental, and ethical urgencies of our time.

The first comprehensive showcase in China of Nøtel, a groundbreaking solo exhibition by artist Lawrence Lek.
Continuously evolving since 2015, the project envisions a speculative model of future habitation, one that is fully globalized, standardized, and fundamentally transient.
During the exhibition, Fotografiska's space will be transformed into a real estate marketing suite for the fictional Nøtel Corporation, Lek's design for the luxury hotel of the future.
This immersive advertisement allows visitors to experience Nøtel through interactive video games, guided walkthrough trailers, and CGI prints, presenting the global hotel chain as if it already exists.
With music composed by electronic musician Kode 9 (Steve Goodman), the exhibition immerses audiences in a futuristic space oscillating between luxurious experiences and technological alienation.

Photographic Geomancy @ Fotografiska Shanghai
Fotografiska Shanghai present artists group exhibition 'Photographic Geomancy: Image, Fieldwork, and the Poetics of Geography,' featuring the works of 20 artists working at the intersections of art, geography, geology, and geopolitics.
The exhibition uses the metaphor of 'geomancy' to demonstrate how artists use on-site geographical research to address complicated themes including aesthetics, culture, environment, identity, and geopolitics in Chinese geography.
The exhibition is organized into multiple interconnected sections, which are based on the substance and issues explored by the artists in their work. It invites the audience to explore the mountains, rivers, and historical aspects of China, following the artists' journey.
The exhibition aims to reinterpret the expansive Chinese landscape by combining visual art, geography, and history.

Walking Tours
GPS Walks
GPS Walks is a walking tour WeChat mini-program which uses your location to play commentary automatically, so that while you walk you can listen and focus on your surroundings.
You can start your walk at any time and stop whenever and wherever you like, for as long as you like. You don't even need to hit pause; when you start moving again, the playback will continue.
You can follow your progress on a map, but the commentary also gives you directions, so you don't need to be glued to your screen.
They currently have seven walks online, each one lasting around one-and-a-half hours. On each tour there are some well known and famous places, and great photo opportunities, but also some hidden gems tucked away for people to discover.
The aim is to pick out the stories that bring a bit of Old Shanghai to life, and go a little bit deeper than the dry statistics there might be on the plaque on the outside of a building.
