A book born from the collaboration between Lin Zhipeng, also known as No.223, and the curator and producer Anna Mistal. It gathers 75 colour pictures made in Paris in 2023. Transcending the stereotypical idea of the city known as the capital of love, it reveals tenderness and freedom hidden in quiet streets and among ordinary people, and continuing the artist's long-standing exploration of love and freedom, the sitters embody a forbidden love that affirms their own existence, quietly yet with courage. Alongside the pictures and the artist's words, the volume includes a three-way conversation with Anna Mistal and Akio Nagasawa.

“This work explores the love expressed by people of different and nonconforming genders, challenging the traditional concept of public nudity through a kind of liberation. Love is a subject I have focused on for a long time, but this is the first time I have made a large number of nudes in a public urban space. I used the kinds of Asian models I was familiar with, since we have a similar cultural background; together we put aside the conservatism and tradition we have to search for the kind of freedom that is born out of pleasure. Different from the previous project, where I was working in the completely safe indoor atmosphere of a hotel, this time I worked on the street, in parks, in bars, on rooftops. I felt anxious since I didn't want to disturb passers-by, but I was excited about these challenges.” — Lin Zhipeng
