SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE 06

Anthony Vaccarello invites Beijing photographer Lin Zhipeng, also known as No.223. Nudity and aesthetics made fashionable, be it of people, of youth, or of objects, embracing individuals and scenes in playful melancholy and eroticism. A sense of the untold and of absence. Stories intertwined with reality and fiction, accident and disorder, wanderings between taboo and innocence, truthful and frank. But if you get lost, sooner or later there will be a bright future.

Lin Zhipeng, aka no. 223, reveals beauty in the mastery of his medium: not just the beauty of an image or a photograph, but also the beauty springing from the entanglement of actual memories, from the sensations that memories convey and ignite. This is the mark and breath of a poet.
