Fotografiska Museum Shanghai

The first major posthumous retrospective of Sebastião Salgado (1944–2025). The exhibition invites the audiences to step into the world captured by Sebastião Salgado, serving as a profound tribute to the master photographer, honoring his extraordinary artistic legacy and humanitarian vision.

Through images steeped in metaphor, symbolism, and a rebellious lyricism, Cho Gi-Seok offers viewers not only a striking aesthetic encounter but also an invitation to immerse themselves in a dreamlike exploration of identity, memory, and beauty. More than an exhibition, it is an inner journey of resonance and reflection.

Extending the brief lives of twenty rare and endangered butterfly species — from just a few weeks to 73 years, the global average human life expectancy, the artist's latest cinematic masterpiece offers an immersive experience, bringing visitors into a new dimension of time.

Nøtel envisions a speculative model of future habitation, one that is fully globalized, standardized, and fundamentally transient. Through multimedia installations, interactive gaming, and recursive virtual environments, with music composed by electronic musician Kode 9 (Steve Goodman), the exhibition immerses audiences in a futuristic space oscillating between luxurious experiences and technological alienation.

He searches the night sky for traces of comets, waits in caves for anomalous sounds, and reconstructs through his work a starry sky once witnessed yet ultimately forgotten by his younger self. Like a love letter to parallel realities, the exhibition invites audiences to follow the artist’s lens and rediscover the cosmic imagination latent within their own memories.
