The Invisible Man...

How incredible are these photographs from Chinese artist Liu Bolin?  These are from two different series--'Camouflage' and 'Hiding In The City'.  Mr. Bolin has said he's inspired by not fitting into modern society and his work represents the diminishing humanity of that same society.  Also, he sees his work as a silent protest against the Chinese government's persecution of artists.  Powerful.  I find it has huge resonance long after the initial viewing, giving the viewer plenty of room for interpretation and lots of food for thought.  Astounding, no?...
