This is a favorite "trick" the 38-year old artist, he mimics with body art for their environment, and then the effective illusion is recorded with the camera. Liu Bolin came to New York a month ago and already had to pretend to be part of a wall with graffiti on Houston Street to be painted the color of the bronze bull on Wall Street, and "disappear" in a place where bombings September 11 towers of the World Trade Center.

According to Liu Bolin, his "disappearance" - an artistic form of protest against the actions of the Chinese government. By order of the Chinese authorities had closed its Beijing studio, and this prompted the birth of new forms of creativity.

Artworks Liu Bolin - a metaphor for his position in society. He considers himself an outsider, whose creative acts are not appreciated, especially in his homeland.

In his writings, Liu Bolin brought the idea of ​​invisibility to the grotesque: most passers-by, and most of the art of disappearance of Liu Bolin is on the streets, observe the artist's chameleon, just when it starts to move.

Another topic Liu Bolin's exciting and reflected in his works - the impact of the environment of large cities on the person. He adds that, in addition to protest against the persecution of artists in China, a source of inspiration for him was the inability to fit into modern society and to find its place in it. Liu Bolin admits that after high school could not find work and felt that society had no place. "I learned the dark side of life - without social ties, and in fact felt that everything in me just does not care. I felt useless in this world . Since then, of dependence and subordination, I went to the protest against the system ».
