    As Anne said, this is quite creepy when you think about it but … it’s still pretty amazing ! This is so original.

    How do we KNOW these are not photoshopped? They would be so much easier to do that way and no one would be able to tell the difference.

    Incredible. There is such a great community of artists coming out of China over the past few years.

    Liu Bolin has been doing his Hiding in the City series since 2005. It started as a political commentary on the tensions between the Chinese government and their people and the identity an environment gives an individual and vice versa. Liu Bolin will be exhibiting at Eli Klein Fine Art in New York from June 29 – August 28, 2011. Eli Klein Fine Art represents him exclusively in North and South America.
