Hiding in the City
Can you see the artist in each of these crazy pictures? Liu Bolin paints himself to blend into the background of whatever he's standing infront of and takes a picture. i don't know how he does it, but it's AMAZING! In a few of these I had trouble finding him...
I love the precision he uses to maintain the spacing and depth of each item behind him - he is able to copy the typography perfectly... On his body! I can't even imagine how difficult this would be. It makes me daydream of walking through the grocery store and suddenly an 'invisible man' pops out.
It would be great to be filmed. You need to see the rest of his work
here before he disappears for good.
... Now here's the question: how in the world could we create a piece inspired by this artist? I'm thinking... Complex Halloween costume? Oh well. Sometimes its good just to post some great art!
