ABOUT THE ART
A growing project that saw its start in 2016, ‘下河 summertime’ is a photo series by anonymous photographer 214. A collection of sun-kissed skin (too much even for the likes of Instagram’s policies), warbly self portraits and self-insertions into animal photography, 214 captures the fleeting tenderness of a languid summertime hidden from most prying eyes.
