Liu Bolin

Born in 1973 in Shandong, China, Liu Bolin is an artist who lives and works in Beijing. A graduate of Shandong University of Fine Arts and the Central Academy of Fine Arts of China, he has since pursued an internationally acclaimed photography practice, notably through the series he began in 2005 entitled Hiding in the City, and has since become known as the "invisible man". His sculptural work also includes human figures made of electronic components. His work, whether photographic or sculptural, suggests a message of humanity in peril, dissolved in an urban, technological heap. His work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions around the world, including at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris in 2017, the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne in 2018 and the Museo delle Culture in Milan in 2019.
