Red Star Motel is the clever, action-packed series by Beijing photographer Chi Lei, “Chili”, that reads like an unraveling drama brimming with sex, drugs, murder and chaos. Each scene is set in an identical divey Beijing motel room where Chili supplies us with plenty of voyeuristic moments to witness. The images are linked together through subtle visual clues that have been woven throughout, encouraging the viewer to take part and piece together the story.

I absolutely love this series. The idea and execution are excellent. that last shot really adds to make the set complete.

This is great, I can just hear all the chaos in the motion blur, and the paused motion capture is awesome as well.
