Big ones, small ones and of coarse our very personal one. You are warmly invited to experience some of these adventures with us and to find out that after all Shanghai is only just a little more crazy than other parts in the world.

Shanghai ART - Photoseries Moganshan Lu

Moganshan Lu is not an ordinary street in Shanghai. It is a complex of deserted warehouse and factories which over time were taken over by artists looking for low budget rent and eventually was transformed into modern art galleries. M50 is the largest complex and best known in Shanghai. It is hosting around 100 artists who are not only work but also living there.

But it is not only the galleries which make this place so interessting. It is more so that you can still see the transformation from old homes and warehouses into fancy art galleries. In some places it looks like people are still somehow living in the ruins which is something you see quite a bit in the old parts of Shanghai. A great place for finding lot´s of little stories.

So in September I decided to take my camera with me and to explored the venue trying to capture a feel of the place.

Expect the unexpected - Why Shanghai?

For nearly 10 years we have lived in a cosy little village settled amongst lush green vineries on the river rhine in Germany. Just about as we were getting ready to properly settle down, we were presented with this once in a life time opportunity to move for 2-3 years to Shanghai. Was it an expereince we have been looking for? No, it wasn´t. But it was a door that opened and after a little thinking we admitted that we were by far to curious to find out what there would lay behind it. So we decided to take a "left turn" in our life, to try out something new and to move here - An estimated 20 million people mega city, 8000km away. And what have we learnt? Expect the unexpected- always and for sure in our daily life in Shanghai.
