The invisible man - Liu Bolin



I were inspired about the "invisible man" project which led me to google "the invisible man"
I discovered this amazing artist from China - Liu Bolin, who is camouflaging himself with paint to melt into the environment he chooses. These series of work is called "Hiding in the city" At first it is even hard to realize he is actually there! He is present at the same time as he is absent.
I am interested in the reasons why he is doing this artwork. According to himself this is a protest against the Chinese government´s oppression againt modern day artists and their freedom to exercise their work.

About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom
Im Emma from Gothenburg, Sweden. I live in London, and Stockholm. I study Photography at London college of communication after graduating from Central saint martins with Graphic design/photo which helped me develop alot and lead me to focusing only on photo. I find it inspirationable to study in London as I´m surrounded with lots of creativity and people with great ideas everyday. I find it important to be interested as a person to be able to do something interesting yourself. When it comes to art and photography I find it important to be open to recieve inspiration within any art form to create a broader understanding. This will make you more advanced within your own area of expertise. If your an actor, go and see dance, read books, go to exhibitions. It´s up to oneself how to develop that inspiration into something of your own. "The act of observing the experiment affects the experiment".
