Whenever I’m at work, I try my best to keep my nose down and avoid being noticed. I purportedly have the demeanor of a terrorist suffering from IBS so that exercise has proved difficult. If there was ever a person I’d look to for advice, it’d be Liu Bolin, a Chinese artist who has made a name for himself for being invisible.
Often times Bolin poses for up to 10 hours while his collaborators paint his disguise to blend in with the surroundings. It works so well that passers-by aren’t aware of his presence until he moves. Bolin says his work is a protest in defiance of the Chinese government who shut down an artist village in 2006.
His urban camouflage art entitled Hiding in the City can be seen after the jump.
I don’t know about you but that bulldozer image foxed me for a bit.

Yeah I’ve seen some of these before – they’re done really well – the bulldozer pic took me a little while too. I think that one and the one of him in front of the bird’s nest stadium are done the best.
Agreed, the Bird’s Nest Stadium disguise is my favourite too.
LOL! The ultimate in camoflage! now, if only it didn’t take a couple hours, and a bunch of paint, and you don’t have to stand still!
