I grew up in Belgium with a Chinese Grandmother born in Yixing, a small town two hours West of Shanghai. In 1929 my Grandmother left Shanghai by boat to study in Europe, where she met my Russian Grandfather. Growing up, it was fascinating listening to all the stories related to my family in China. After graduating from the Agnès Varda School of Photography in Brussels, it was the right time to visit my relatives in the Far East. In March 1985, I boarded a plane to Hong Kong and traveled for six weeks around China, falling in love straight away with Shanghai. The meals cooked by my Grandaunt are to this day the best Chinese meals I have ever eaten. In December 2019, I completed my 9th photo trip to Shanghai, walking through the city for over 15 months in total. Yes, by walking over and over the same neighborhoods and photographing the same street corners and Lilongs, I was able to build an extensive portfolio covering all the changes happening in these dynamic neighborhoods. From a still sleepy town in the eighties to one of the most vibrant world metropolises today, I covered many of those changes over a period of 35 years. Nothing compares to Shanghai, The Bund remains as attractive as ever.
