LIN Zhipeng aka No.223
林志鹏
Born in Guangdong in 1979, now based in Beijing. Created in 2003 his blog “North Latitude 23” where he published everyday pictures accompanied by short texts received millions views and made him famous among the web community. Lin Zhipeng offers his point of view on an alternative youth spirit and culture in an often conservatively Chinese cultural context. His spontaneous photographs portray a young generation who indulge in love and life, oscillating between jubilation and deep melancholy, playful sexuality and often just the simple human need to be loved in an otherwise indifferent and ever-changing society.
