Unseen Work, the first Shanghai exhibition of legendary nanny-photographer Vivian Maier (1926–2009), marks the centenary of her birth.
Dubbed "the most mysterious photographic genius of the 20th century," Maier worked as a nanny for five decades while secretly creating over 150,000 photographs.
Discovered by chance in 2007 when her negatives were purchased at auction, Maier lacked formal training yet possessed an uncanny ability to seize the "decisive moment."
Walking the streets of American cities between childcare duties, she captured fleeting moments of ordinary life with masterful composition and social observation.
Her work blends compassion, humor, and acute social insight, prompting The New Yorker to hail it as "an achievement that rewrites photographic history."
Her travels extended globally, including to Hong Kong and Macao.
This show presents over 200 vintage and modern prints, including previously unseen images from her travels in Asia, along with her 8mm footage and personal artifacts like her Rolleiflex camera.
Structured thematically, the exhibition traces her career from introspective self-portraits through reflections to later color experiments.
Maier never printed most negatives nor sought recognition—she created purely from inner calling.
This show invites visitors into her solitary, richly expressive world for a dialogue across time.

Crack in the Curtain, the first institutional solo show by Huang Peishan, explores the evolving dialogue between image and space in the digital era.
As AI and post-processing reshape photography’s claim to truth, Huang transforms images into tactile presences.
Using digital editing, AI generation, composite printing, and resin, she creates works that resemble documentary evidence, yet reveal deliberate fissures—becoming “interfaces of illusion” between reality and fiction.
The exhibition reconstructs everyday elements—shower curtains, mirrors, flowing water—into landscapes both familiar and strange.
These destabilize boundaries between private and public, intertwining shelter with discipline, intimacy with exposure.
The “crack” is the curatorial motif: apertures in curtains, ruptures in fabric, fractures in mirrors disclose fluid truths beneath surfaces, offering new ways of seeing.
Suspended between revelation and concealment, this liminal space defines Huang’s creative terrain.
Ultimately, the exhibition invites viewers to reexamine the authenticity of images and the politics of vision itself.

Man With Good Taste is an exhibition that challenges how we define aesthetic value.
Part of the museum's Emerging Artist Program, this solo exhibition presents the Li Chenchi's signature "in-between aesthetics"—a space where good and bad taste become ambiguous, fleeting moments rather than fixed judgments.
Working across painting, photography, and printmaking, Li Chenchi responds to our era of image saturation, accelerated visual consumption, and fragmented attention.
His layered compositions, created through superimposition and collage techniques, resist straightforward storytelling. Instead, they invite viewers to slow down and rediscover the hidden poetry within ordinary life, personal memory, and historical narration.
The works move between the mundane and the sacred, the poetic and the fractured, constructing a contemplative field where seeing becomes a ritual.
Curated as part of Fotografiska's commitment to emerging voices, this exhibition offers a profound reflection on how we perceive images today—and what it truly means to have "good taste."

American multimedia artist Tony Oursler presents mAcHiNe CrYsTaL, a major solo exhibition now on view at Fotografiska Shanghai.
The show features large-scale immersive optical installations created specifically for the space, using crystal as a medium to bridge natural geometry, digital technology, and artificial intelligence.
At the heart of the exhibition is a sculptural arrangement of faceted crystal structures that function as both physical objects and dynamic projection surfaces.
Multicolored digital imagery—including live-action footage, hand-drawn animations, and AI-generated content—reflects and refracts across the crystals, creating a constantly shifting perceptual field that changes with the viewer's position.
Inspired by crystalline formations in nature and the role of crystals as the synchronized "heartbeat" of digital devices, Oursler asks whether technology can lead audiences back to nature.

Thomas Sauvin's Beijing Silvermine: Archive Anthology celebrates 15 years of one of the world's most important vernacular photography archives.
Curated by Holly Roussell, the exhibition brings together over 1,500 salvaged 35mm negatives, books, installations, and collaborative artworks.
The archive originated from a recycling plant on the outskirts of Beijing, where Sauvin rescued millions of anonymous film negatives destined for silver extraction.
These images document Chinese daily life from the Reform and Opening-Up period to the early 2000s—capturing aspirations, wedding rituals, and material culture in a rapidly changing society.
The exhibition unfolds across four sections: a monumental archive installation, a reconstruction of Sauvin's studio, a tribute to the cult photobook Until Death Do Us Part, and collaborations with artists including Lei Lei and Kensuke Koike.
Reflecting Fotografiska's mission to inspire new perspectives, the show demonstrates how images made to record ordinary life can acquire profound cultural meaning long after their original context has faded.
