Lin Zhipeng (NO. 223) - Grand Amour
In his extraordinary photography, Chinese artist Lin Zhipeng (aka “223”) has been expressing a playful, arrogant sense and spirit of youth in the context of a conservative Chinese culture. His visually bright images capture a peculiar freshness, sexual playfulness and carelessness that nevertheless feel burdened by an intangible weightfulness. The project “Grand Amour” was created in collaboration with curactor Anna Mistal, who gave Zhipeng three days in the Parisian hotel “Grand Amour” to create a series that would then be exhibited in the corridors and rooms of the hotel. Working together with Asian models who answered his call on social media as well as props (fruits, flowers, doves), Zhipeng created a multilayered series that is saturated with ambiguity regarding love, sex, youth, escapism, eroticism (non-)conformity, optimism and social pressure. “I am like a waiter who was given a special identity. At this time, I may be a stranger, perhaps a maker of taste and emotion, maybe a peeper next door, maybe just a recorder using a camera to invade others. The young flesh came in and out. Our communication was limited to the narration of the shutter’s sound and an euphemistic dialogue. This is a colorful room filled with invisible desires and slow laziness. The body appears to be still, or just a dream, because it is not a strong oppressive relationship.” (from Lin Zhipeng’s afterword)
The book includes 91 photos of the artist's work, includig a one-page text by the artist.

在他卓越的摄影作品中，中国艺术家林志鹏（艺名“223”）表达了一种在保守的中国文化背景下的俏皮、傲慢的青春感和精神。他的视觉明亮的图像捕捉到了一种奇特的新鲜感、性的调皮和无所顾忌，但同时也感觉到一种无形的沉重感。项目“大爱情”是与策展人安娜·米斯塔尔合作的产物，她在巴黎的“大爱情”酒店给予了志鹏三天的时间来创作一系列作品，然后这些作品将在酒店的走廊和客房展出。志鹏与在社交媒体上回应他号召的亚洲模特以及道具（水果、花朵、鸽子）一起工作，创作了一系列多层次的作品，这些作品充满了关于爱情、性、青春、逃避现实、色情（不）符合、乐观主义和社会压力的模糊性。“我就像是一个被赋予特殊身份的服务员。在这个时刻，我可能是一个陌生人，也许是品味和情感的创造者，也许是隔壁的偷窥者，也许只是一个用相机侵入别人的记录者。年轻的肉体出入不断。我们的交流仅限于快门声的叙述和一种委婉的对话。这是一个充满了看不见的欲望和慢慢懒散的房间。身体看起来静止，或者只是一个梦，因为它不是一种强有力的压迫性关系。”（摘自林志鹏的后记）
这本书包括了艺术家作品的91张照片，包括了一篇艺术家的一页文字。
