Liu Bolin's Hide in the City No. 37, photograph of artist camouflaged against a wall with Chinese propaganda text, blending into urban setting.

Signed and numbered in the lower margin; unframed // Hide in the City No. 37 by Liu Bolin is a striking 2007 photograph from the artist's renowned Invisible Man series. In this piece, Bolin camouflages himself against a wall covered with Chinese propaganda text, blending seamlessly into the urban landscape. His meticulous body paint allows him to disappear within the wall, creating a visual commentary on themes of identity, conformity, and the individual’s relationship to society. Bolin’s performance art captures the tension between the self and the collective, particularly within the context of modern Chinese society. This signed and numbered photograph not only showcases Bolin’s technical skill but also serves as a profound critique on the erasure of individuality within a regulated environment.
