Came across some fascinating photos yesterday by an artist named Liu Bolin. I didn't find any references to him in the discussions, so I thought I'd share a couple of links.
The Invisible Man (25 photographs):
"...Known as The Invisible Man, Bolin’s most popular works are from his “Hiding in the City” series; photographic works that began as performance art in 2005. Helped by his assistants, Bolin stands still for hours in a landscape while they paint on him to create a camouflage, blending him into his surroundings..."
"...Using complicated and precise hand-painted camouflage, Liu Bolin painstakingly recreates these images with scores of human subjects as his canvas..."
