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 Chinese contemporary art?

Chinese Contemporary art is characterized by a profusion of styles and experimental tendencies. Avant- garde exhibitions in the 1980s were closed by government officials, while 1990s political pop and cynical realism emerged. China’s One Child policy also inspired the individual as subject matter.
