Liu Bolin — Hide in the City #69
Liu Bolin

Hide in the City #69

Liu Bolin's *Hide in the City #69* is a chromogenic print in which the artist himself appears to vanish into an urban backdrop, his body painstakingly painted to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. The work continues Bolin's signature "Hiding in the City" series, using meticulous camouflage to explore themes of invisibility, displacement, and the individual's fraught relationship with modern society. The vibrant, photorealistic quality of the chromogenic print heightens the tension between presence and absence, inviting viewers to search for the figure concealed within the scene.
