What creeps into the silences
Lin Zhipeng, known as No. 223, accurately captures contemporary urban youth through spontaneous, intimate and sensual photographs. His gaze, both provocative and delicate, captures a generation in search of emancipation, love and freedom.
À Deauville et dans ses alentours, il poursuit son exploration de la nudité dans l’espace public, mettant en scène des corps libérés dans des lieux emblématiques, interrogeant les normes sociales et célébrant les désirs sans entraves.
Chinese photographer Lin Zhipeng, known as 223, was born in Guangdong in 1979 and lives and works in Beijing. Self-taught and now a major figure in contemporary Chinese photography, 223 explores intimate freedom, sexuality and creative energy through analogue colour photography, capturing the essence of his life, his friends and shared moments. His images, somewhere between desire and chaos, celebrate a youth that defies social expectations. Represented by several galleries in Europe and Asia, such as in)(between gallery in Paris, he has exhibited at the MEP (Paris), among other venues.
