变革与活力的时代
在1990年代初罗伯特·凡德·休斯特先生，应 Vogue 等一系列杂志的委任，多次来到上海，用彩色反转片拍摄了大量的城市景观及社会生活场景的照片。这些作品忠实记录了在刚刚进入新一轮改革开放进程的特殊时刻，上海这座城市在时代机遇和动力下面临着全新转变，也成为了城市整体面貌和人们生活乃至人与人的关系根本改变前的视觉档案。
在本次展出的作品中，凡德·休斯特先生镜头中的每个人似乎都充满能量并对未来抱有无限憧憬——看到股票交易信息上涨时，高高举起拳头的年轻人；在外滩三个穿着自己设计剪裁的皮草的男孩；天津路街角两位登样的男士，踌躇满志看似港台电视剧中成功商人的模样。

“24小时内，我就爱上了这座城市。”
罗伯特·凡德·休斯特的摄影风格从没有囿于某一特定的摄影类型所要求的程式，更像是无时无刻不在好奇张望，并跟从内心的感受而触动快门。
他称自己为世界摄影师，“世界就是我的摄影棚，而我是一位人性摄影师。”，罗伯特·凡德·休斯特在洞悉作品中的色彩和现实表现手法的同时，通过镜头捕捉人们的日常生活、情感交流、社会互动及其在各种情境下的行为和反应，以此来展现人性的多样性，所以他的作品往往也更具日常性和碎片感。

作为一名外国摄影师，凡德·休斯特的“他者”视角为作品增添了客观性和好奇心，为熟悉的场景提供了全新的视角，并显现在对日常生活平凡性、冲突性的关注，以及对文化深度的关注上。
最令凡德·休斯特先生记忆犹新的，则是上海人民的友好。大家对他的镜头毫不抵触，甚至有时会主动与他交流，他说：“仅仅在24小时内，我就爱上了这座城市。”

此次展览不仅是一次视觉穿越，也是一次文化之旅，观众在欣赏老照片回忆变迁的同时，也能感受到上海这座城市的历史底蕴和文化魅力。随着时代发展，这座城市的景观虽已经历翻天覆地的变化，但那些珍贵的瞬间都将永远定格在城市历史的长河中，成为上海永恒的记忆。

An Era Filled With Change and Vitality
In the early 1990s, commissioned by magazines such as Vogue, Van der Hilst visited Shanghai multiple times and captured numerous photos of urban landscapes and social life scenes by color reversal film. These works faithfully documented the special period when Shanghai, just embarking on a new round of reform and opening-up, the city was going through a change like never before with new transformation amidst new opportunities and new impetus of the times. They have become a visual archive the urban landscape and moments of local citizen’s life during its economic leap and development takeoff.
In the exhibits, everyone seems brimming with energy and hope for the future. A young man jubilantly raises his fist upon seeing a soaring stock market update in one photo; On the Bund, three boys dressed in fur coats made by themselves; And at the corner of Tianjin Road, two gentlemen in tailored suits exuded the aura of successful businessmen straight out of a Hong Kong or Taiwanese TV series.

“I fell in love with the city in 24 hours.”
Robert van der Hilst did not allow himself to be confined to the paradigm of a particular photographic style. Rather, he observed the world with a constant curiosity and touched the shutter whenever he felt pleased.
Robert van der Hilst says of himself to be a photographer of the world, “The world is my studio. I am a photographer of humanity.” So, he captures human’s emotion and social interactions as well as behaviors and reactions in various scenarios in their daily lives, while perceiving the colors and realistic expression techniques in his works. And these make his works with the quality of quotidian and fragmented.

As a foreign photographer, his "otherness" adds objectivity and curiosity to his work, offering a new perspective on the familiar scenes. This viewpoint is evident in his focus on the ordinary yet paradoxically rich and culturally profound aspects of daily life.
Throughout the journey, what stands out most in Robert's memory is the friendliness of the Shanghainese people. They were unfazed by his camera and often willingly engaged in conversation, a factor that enabled him to swiftly fall in love with the city within 24 hours of his unprepared arrival.

This exhibition is not only a visual journey through time but also a cultural odyssey, where visitors, while admiring old photographs and reminiscing about changes, can also savor the historical depth and culture of Shanghai. With the development of the times, Shanghai has experienced huge changes, but no matter how it changes, those precious moments are forever fixed in the history of Shanghai, becoming eternal memories of the city.
