溺爱集
La Liberté ou L’Amour
From 2004 to 2023, No.223 has crafted a unique artistic world through his photographic vision. This 20th-anniversary photobook is more than a retrospective; it’s an exploration of artistic freedom and the timeless vitality of youth. It invites readers to reflect on the past while embracing the enduring creative spirit that defines No.223’s work. The number "223" becomes a hidden thread, symbolically woven through the book’s structure. The 223 carefully curated images are divided into ten small booklets, each themed around key phrases and ideas, creating a reading rhythm that feels fresh and engaging. This approach avoids the traditional catalogue-style presentation, empowering readers to interpret and reorganise the content in their own way.
Revisiting two decades of work has been an exercise in rediscovery for No. 223. He deliberately bypassed widely recognised pieces, focusing instead on previously unseen works. The photobook features a blend of new and old, iconic and obscure, showcasing the depth of his creativity while leaving room for interpretation. This process of selection is as much about the act of curation as it is about revealing the evolution of his artistic language.
No. 223’s photography is deeply rooted in capturing subtle, everyday emotions, yet it consistently transcends themundane to evoke something extraordinary. His seemingly casual yet deliberate creative logic runs through his images and this photobook's structure. Though light and unassuming, the ten booklets bring a “poetry of order ” to the reading experience. They invite readers to flip, dismantle, and reassemble, rediscovering the purity and vibrancy of youth in their own way. This eternal youth forms the core of No.223’s art and philosophy. In a constantly changing world, he remains steadfast in capturing life’s vivid moments, making photography the ideal medium to preserve freedom and vitality. His images defy the constraints of technological shifts and the relentless noise of modern life, offering viewers a breath of clarity and renewal amidst the chaos.

编号223这个符号作为隐秘的线索贯穿全书。223张图片分成十个小册子，每一册都以关键词和诗意短句为主题，构成一种全新的阅读节奏。这种设计不仅规避了传统目录册的线性逻辑，也让读者能以自由的方式解构与重组。
回顾二十年的创作历程对编号223而言是一次重新发现之旅。艺术家与编者达成共识，有意避开广为人知的代表作，转而聚焦于此前未曾公开的作品。这本摄影集融合了新旧作品、经典与隐秘，既展现了艺术家创作的深度广度，又为观众留下充分的解读空间。本书作品的甄选过程本身就是一次策展实践，揭示了其艺术语言的演进轨迹。
这种恒定的青春和成长性是编号223作品的核心，也是他的创作哲学。无论时代如何变化，他始终坚持捕捉生活中那些鲜活的瞬间，让影像成为记录青春与自由的最佳媒介。这种自由，不受技术变迁或网络信息泛滥的影响，总能在繁杂的后现代都市中，为观者带来一口清新的空气。
