内容
所谓「隐字」，是几位摄影师在上海的街巷行走时反复遇到的令人着迷的主题：那些在城市更新过程中裸露出来的旧时手写文字。它们往往直接绘写或雕刻在建筑主体上，后人则直接将新的招牌遮盖其上。随着街道整治、旧房拆迁，新招牌被卸下，这些几十年、甚至百年前的文字，就如意外的考古现场一样呈现在人们眼前。
在本次书展首发的《隐字上海》一书中，收录了摄影师们在七年间拍摄到的一百七十多处珍贵的「隐字现场」。它们中绝大多数已被再次遮盖、粉刷，甚至随着建筑的拆除而彻底与我们告别，只留存在这些珍贵的影像中。
本次讲座就让我们回顾他们的脚步和镜头，探寻藏在这些城市缝隙中的时光隧道。
“Uncovered sign” is a charming theme that photographers come across repeatedly as they explore the city – old hand-drawn signs exposed during demolition as part of the urban renewal process. Usually painted or carved directly onto the buildings decades or even a century ago, some signs survived till today because new owners only covered them with another layer of signage. When the city demolishes shabby shops and removes worn-out banners, these typography gems finally get to see the light again like archaeological mini-sites.
The book Uncovered Signs in Shanghai has collected over 170 signs spotted over seven years, most of them being recovered by new paint or completely dismantled with the building. Let’s follow these previous images and travel back in time.
