《上海屋里厢》以本市20世纪建造的民居为对象,记录了本地房子、石库门里弄住宅、新式里弄住宅、花园洋房和公寓大楼中百余户居民的生活空间,给城市文化研究带来了一个新的观察视角,及一份难得的图像史料。

Inside Shanghai presents the latest works of Xi Wenlei, the freelance photographer. He aims at the local residence built in the 20th century, including scenarios in villas, Shikumen houses, lane houses, and apartment homes. The collection of photographs offers a very valuable new perspective for the investigation of urban culture, while they will most probably survive us as historical records.
