中国人正用摄影和世界连接

周五，刘香成的上海摄影艺术中心将举办第一场展览。在采访中他谈了这个新画廊，以及中国人对纪录摄影的关注。在他看来，这种关注正日渐增多。以下是采访节选：

Q. How did you come up with the idea for starting this photography center?

问：建立这个摄影中心的想法是如何产生的?

A. A rare occurrence happened in 2014, when the mayor of Shanghai’s Xuhui District and Ihad a discussion. He asked me if I would move my studio space to Shanghai. I was speechlesswhen presented with this opportunity. As a photojournalist, I don’t really work from a studio,but I thought of my previous visits to a small museum space in southern France called St. Paulde Vence.

答：2014年的一个机缘巧合，上海徐汇区区长和我有过一次交谈，他问我是否愿意把自己的工作室搬到上海。面对这个提议，我不知该说什么好。作为一名摄影记者，我并不是总在工作室里工作，但我想起了之前去法国南部的圣保罗参观过的一个小型博物馆空间。

The space available in Shanghai was designed by the American architecture firm of SharonJohnston and Mark Lee for the 2013 West Bund Architecture and Contemporary Art Biennale.Since the building is located in the newly designated Museum Mile along the Huangpu River, Ithought it would be an ideal home for an I.C.P.-like space. So I told the mayor that I would dosomething.
