No. 223 Lin Zhipeng Lin Zhipeng is one of the most important member of the new generation of photographers who rose to prominence from social media. Though very intimate, 223’s photographs act as a collective not-so-private diary of a young generation that wants to escape the pressures from the society and play with its limits. Lin Zhipeng’s pictures are never dramatic nor glaucous, sometimes punk and trash, sometimes very poetic. They carry a soft carelessness, a playful innocence, a certain optimism in an hedonist life going against the expected pleasures of the middle class dream.

Patterns superimposed over the blandness of skin, cinematic and poetic atmospheres where lovers stop time, unexpected fruits and wild urban animals,... Lin Zhipeng's vocabulary while in the vein of Tillmans, Clark , and McGinley remains a unique voice only to himself. Growing up in China and experiencing first hand the switch in self identification within his generation. Witnessing that the youth of the east has caught up to that of the west marking a definitive moment bridging the two cultures.
