<Description>

Published by Bijutsu Shuppan-sha in 1988, Shanghai Memorandum is photographer Michio Nakagawa's examination of a city carrying several histories within its streets. Nakagawa, who studied and worked with Takuma Nakahira before developing a long practice centred on architecture, cities and human activity, approached Shanghai through repeated visits over many years. The book brings together black-and-white photographs of streets, bicycles, building facades, architectural details, crowded public spaces and quieter interiors. Surviving structures from Shanghai's former international settlements appear alongside the ordinary movements of its contemporary inhabitants. Weathered surfaces, intersecting lines, commercial signs and people moving through the frame reveal a city in which different historical periods remain physically entangled. Nakagawa's compositions frequently emphasize relationships between the built environment and those passing through it. Elevated viewpoints expose the geometry of roads and architecture, while closer observations recover gestures and details that might disappear in a broader urban panorama. Across the book, photographs and written passages encourage attention to how a city's history becomes visible through its everyday life. Released during the period of China's reform and opening, Shanghai Memorandum also preserves a particular moment before the city's later large-scale redevelopment. Its measured photographic language allows architecture, human presence and historical memory to coexist within a reflective account of urban change.

＜介紹＞

《上海紀聞》出版於1988年，是攝影師中川道夫長年走訪上海後形成的城市觀察。中川曾受中平卓馬影響，並持續以建築、都市空間與人類活動為攝影主題。上海複雜的歷史層次，使這座城市成為他反覆觀看與思考的對象。 書中的黑白影像穿行於街道、自行車群、老建築、商業招牌與人們聚集的公共場所。昔日租界時期留下的建築形態，與二十世紀八十年代的日常生活同時出現在畫面中。中川細緻捕捉建築立面、交錯的結構線條、行人的姿態及城市表面留下的磨損痕跡，讓不同年代的上海彼此疊合。 照片時而從較高視點梳理城市空間，時而貼近日常生活中的人物與細節，並透過跨頁編排形成獨特的觀看節奏。出版時正值中國改革開放時期，上海即將經歷更大規模的都市轉型。這部作品保存了城市在變動中的具體表情，也使歷史記憶透過街景與人物的並置持續浮現。
