Meet the Real Life Invisible Man

35-year-old Liu Bolin, from Shandong, China, manages to camouflage himself in any surroundings, no matter how difficult they might be.

Liu works on a single photo for up to 10 hours at a time, to make sure he gets it just right, but he achieves the right effect: sometimes passers-by don’t even realize he is there until he moves.

The talented Liu Bolin says his art is a protest against the actions of the Government, who shut down his art studio in 2005 and persecutes artists. It’s about not fitting into modern society. Despite problems with Chinese authorities, Liu’s works are appreciated at an international level.

  3. [...] Na, gleich erkannt? Ich musste jedenfalls (gerade beim ersten Foto) mehrmals hinschauen, um herauszufinden, dass da eine Person im Bild versteckt ist. Es handelt sich um Liu Bolin, einen 35-jährigen Chinesen, der es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, fotografisch (und ohne Photoshop) mit seiner Umgebung zu verschmelzen. Ein Zitat aus Odditycentral: [...]
