The Chinese artist Liu Bolin is a piece of art himself. It takes his assistant up to 10 hours to paint Bolin’s whole body including his clothes. The result – with his customised outfit he resembles the environment so well that it looks like he is blending right into the background. Like that he becomes part of his surrounding, almost invisible. The border between reality and fantasy blurs.
His motive is not only artistic but also political. Being homeless for a couple of years, Bolin is now playing with the idea of being invisible to others. He appears and disappears in cities all over the world.
