SPECTRUM

In the 2025 SPECTRUM sector, the Centro Cultural de Español de Shanghái – Instituto Cervantes, which has participated in the exhibition for the third consecutive time, pays tribute to the iconic Spanish photographer Isabel Muñoz. Fotografiska will showcase the breathtaking works of Brazil’s national treasure, Sebastião Salgado, offering a preview of his highly anticipated exhibition opening in July. Meanwhile, the Shanghai Doland Museum of Modern Art reintroduces their Annual Report of Chinese Contemporary Photography while launching a new initiative for 2025: the Digital Archive of Chinese Contemporary Video Artists. Making its debut at the fair, DECK—Southeast Asia’s premier photography platform and the host behind the Singapore International Photography Festival—presents works by three rising video artists: Jonathan Liu, Marvin Tang, and MM Yu, exploring the genesis, evolution, and reinvention of the image. For PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai, MEP presents Ludovic Sauvage’s Vampire Blues. The film is conceived as an experience: three shots of the same flower—slides—immersed in different liquids, as if it were possible to bring them back to life.
