Debauched Hotel Photography

The Red Star Motel Series by Chi Lei is Packed with Sinful Action

People will be out of their mind if they want to stay at the Red Star Motel after perusing through this photo series. Granted, it is most likely a fictional hotel. That said, the series "reads like an unraveling drama brimming with sex, drugs, murder and chaos," writes Amanda Gorence.

Packed with action, the Red Star Motel series documents debauched scene after debauched scene in an identical divey Beijing motel room. Viewers are given a voyeuristic glimpse of a porn set, raving party and even, at its most tamest, a nosy elderly couple.
