Hide In The City N 37

Photography - Photograph

EUR 15,400

Bolin’s Hiding in the City series sees him camouflaged by paint in a silent protest against the Chinese government and the ostracisation he felt – such techniques as disguise and camouflage have earned him the nickname ‘The Invisible Man’.

« Each one chooses his or her path to come in contact with the external world. I chose to merge with the environment. »
Liu Bolin

The process of painting his body can take up to 10 hours – with the help of assistants, Bolin uses paint to match with a portion of his chosen environment; his chosen sites have included the rubble left by earthquakes in the Chinese countryside, and the words of the Communist Manifesto scribed onto a wall.

What is Performance Art?

Performance presented within the context of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary. It may be scripted or unscripted, random or orchestrated carefully; spontaneous or may carefully be planned without the participation of the audience. Performance can be through the media or live and the artist performing can either be present or not. The situation can involve the four basic elements: space, performer's body/his presence through a medium, time and performer-audience relationship. Artwork constitutes actions of a group or an individual at a particular time and space.
