肖战
wow photographer xiao zhan is participating in the leica centennial photography exhibition.
according to the introduction, the work draws inspiration from his hometown, chongqing. in his memory, the city’s steep alleys were once carried on the shoulders of the porters who bore the weight of the mountain city. their bamboo poles and ropes were both tools of survival and imprints of chongqing’s soul. as light rails now pierce through skyscrapers, their rhythmic chants have faded beneath the roar of machinery, yet their calloused hands still clutch fragments of a vanishing world. the lens captures their fleeting intersection with modernity: steel forests rising where old alleys stood. these images are not merely elegies for a dying trade; they document how a city’s bones are quietly reshaped in the crucible of time.
exhibition: witness of the century, when leica meets china
time: july 26 to aug 25, 2025 (daily 10 am – 6 pm)
venue: shanghai postal museum
