Xinhua news agency quotes the organizer as saying.

Shot in the Dark

Posted by znnw on Friday, 12 March, 2010

Shanghai’s Art Deco past, its unique nongtangs, and the
neighborhoods to which it owes its global reputation as “the Paris
of the East”, are being bulldozed as old buildings in parts of the
city are replaced with modern high-rise. Locals and architects
around the world are still weighing the impact of the drastic urban
development and can’t agree on whether it is for the better or the
worse. Yet while everybody else is talking, Canadian photographer
Greg Girard has documented the change of cityscape in a photo book
entitled Phantom Shanghai, with exhibitions in Shanghai,
Beijing, Hong Kong, and major cities in Canada.

Girard comes across as a pensive, philosophical photographer
with a rare talent for capturing beautifully haunting images of old
Shanghai. Some have called his new pictures anthropological. In
Girard’s words, he was simply trying to “make a record”.

Girard’s images of Shanghai show old buildings just before they
were demolished. There are no people in these images, yet the
pictures give the impression that life has been lived in these
places. With a focus on atmosphere and colors, Girard shows what
most people pay little attention to in the city: alleyways and
staircases, as well as small homes in the midst of demolition, with
glass skyscraper looming in the background and surrounding streets
already swept away by change.

The photos are, unusually, taken around dusk, when the falling
light reveals the hidden shadows of an urban landscape illuminated
by rubble and neon. The keyword is contrast.

“When I first visited Shanghai back in 1983 I was struck by how
the city looked as if there had been no urban development, at least
not for profit, since 1949,” Girard told China Daily.

“It was as if Shanghai had fallen off the map.”

Since then, Shanghai has become the focus of worldwide
attention. A lot has happened to the city’s appearance, especially
since the late 1990s. Girard’s project began to take in 2001, three
years after he moved to Shanghai.

“I wanted to see and capture this very specific, unique moment
in Shanghai’s history, which is not going to last forever. It is
the moment when an old city and a modern city are occupying the
same space. In my pictures, you can still see both at the same
time.

“There is a sense that Shanghai has been unnaturally preserved
almost by neglect or a lack of intervention. It seems simply an
accident, because no one intended to save the old parts of the
city. At the same time, the new unprecedented pace of urban
development appears equally accidental.”

The title Phantom Shanghai refers to the ghostly way in which
something is made to disappear, according to Girard.

“When something dies, something lingers. There is some sense of
it still being there, even when it is vanished,” said Girard,
comparing the experience with that of losing a limb. After an
accident, according to many reports, most amputees still feel a
twitch in their lost limb.

To the question of whether Phantom Shanghai was a nostalgic
project, Girard insisted that nostalgia held no interest for him.
When asked if the project should be perceived as political, Girard
commented:

“Like everything in China, it does have a political side to it.
But personally, I find it more to be of a historical nature. The
pictures give a sense of what I would call layers of history or the
heart-flow of time through the city.”

Girard suggested that it may well take an outsider to remind
others of the beauty in the flaws, and to notice the fascinating
phenomenon caught in what he calls “images of the threshold”.

In 1999, Girard published the Hong Kong photo book, City of
Darkness: Life in Kowloon Walled City, in cooperation with Ian
Lambot and Axel Menges.

According to Girard, the two cities that he has documented in
pictures, Hong Kong and Shanghai, do not compare. He explained that
Hong Kong became what it is today because it picked up where
Shanghai left off around 1949.

“Shanghai’s irrelevance became Hong Kong’s relevance back then.
But it is definitely a Shanghai moment right now,” said Girard.

During his endless hours of location hunting, Girard was
confronted with different local attitudes towards the ongoing
changes. Some said they felt “the old stuff” was holding them back.
Other insisted that there was “no need to destroy the past”.

Around Huaihai Park, by the newly renovated Xintiandi district,
some of the people whose lives have been directly affected by the
changes go daily to socialize in the shade. One of them is an
elderly man surnamed Xiong, who will soon have to leave the area.
Surrounded by elders playing mahjong and taking care of
grandchildren, Xiong gave his take on the battle for Shanghai’s
soul.

“I still live on Shunchang Lu just by the park, but my apartment
will be demolished and I will need to move far away to the Minhang
District. I really can’t do anything about the situation, but it is
for the good of Shanghai’s development. Sometimes it is needed for
people to sacrifice themselves in order to develop the city,” he
said.

A 48-year old male storekeeper by a nearby small restaurant at
Xingan Lu pointed out that the residents of Shanghai are in the
process of getting rid of the old in order to make way for the
new.

“There is nothing to be done about it,” he said as he let out a
weary sigh, “but at least the living standards are much better in
the new places.”

The Phantom Shanghai exhibition is at Studio Rouge in Shanghai
and at 798 Art District in Beijing.
