When Shanghai meets New York, a Polaroid becomes a first encounter.
Featuring one of the world's last remaining 20×24 Polaroid cameras, West Meets East: Shanghai × New York brings together photographers John Reuter, Lin Weijian, and Ben Fraternale in a rare exhibition of 50 one-of-a-kind instant photographs.
During his first trip to China, Ben Fraternale spent two weeks documenting nearly 100 faces across Shanghai, capturing everyday moments that later became part of his documentary Inside China.
From portraits to cityscapes, tradition to contemporary life, the exhibition offers a unique dialogue between two cities connected through photography, culture, and human stories.
