Lin Zhipeng (aka No.223, b. Beijing; named after the policeman character in Wong Kar-Wai's Chungking Express) photographs at Hotel Grand Amour in Paris during a four-day residency in 2018. Curated by Anna Mistal. The young flesh came in and out. Their only communication was the narration of the shutter's sound and an euphemistic dialogue. A colorful room filled with invisible desires and slow laziness. The body appears to be still, or just a dream. Lin's candid photographs of Chinese youth exist outside of conservative mainstream society; his practice is a study on the body, gender, day-to-day life, liberty and innocence, nudity and sexuality.
