The photographic strategy in Liu Bolin (The Invisible Man) centers on visual camouflage and human invisibility. Liu Bolin’s work involves meticulous body painting to blend seamlessly into diverse urban landscapes, challenging perceptions of presence and absence within public spaces.

The theme explores the relationship between the individual and society, particularly the desire to disappear amidst the overwhelming complexity of modern environments. The images evoke a mood of subtle tension, highlighting issues of identity, invisibility, and social marginalization.

Published by Blue Kingfisher in 2012, the book spans 161 pages and compiles a significant portion of Liu Bolin’s photographic series that have contributed to his reputation as ‘The Invisible Man’.
