Liu Bolin, The Invisible Man
Posted by DragonThis dragon has often envied the ability of my distant chameleon cousins to camouflage themselves. (Check out this amazing cousin in camo… If I’m extra good in this life, perhaps I’ll come back with that camo skill in my next life. This could a really useful skill for a big dragon!)
Speaking of camouflage, while surfing the net today I discovered an amazing Chinese Da Vinci named Liu Bolin. Some call him the “Invisible Man†and for a really good reason! (Yes, dragons do surf the net, despite our difficulties in using a mouse.)
This very talented dude’s photos have people painted to appear to be invisible or disappearing. It’s his way of showing how he feels Chinese citizens are being treated by the Chinese government.
“It is not so much the body that is concealed in the environment,†says the Invisible Man, “as the surrounding world that swallows up human beings, without giving them any option.†What a cool and a unique way to make a political statement!
See if you can find the invisible people in following pictures! Kudos to the artist and the patient people in these pictures!
