Scott Gray, CEO of the World Photography Organisation, founder of PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai, thanks friends, galleries and partners for supporting this year’s Fair, in China and beyond. Gray also reflects on the steady growth in the appreciation of photography as a collectible art form since the Fair started eight years ago.
SIGMA FOUNDATION, founded by SIGMA Global CEO Kazuto Yamagami, presents its inaugural project at this year’s fair: Sølve Sundsbø’s AI‑generated fictional flower atlas HANATABA; Julia Hetta’s SONGEN, created during a residency in Aizu, Japan, where she uses natural light to capture a narrative of returning home; and young artist Théo Delors, participating in Bernard Faucon’s project The Most Beautiful Day of My Youth, who responds to the theme “the most beautiful day of one’s life” using mobile phones and social media as his material. Through a spatial exhibition design, the booth transforms photobooks into a “readable” viewing experience.
