Holy heck, this awesome. Chinese artist Liu Bolin is well known for his “Hiding” series of images, in which he paints himself and others in such a way that they disappear into the background.
No ad to show here.
His latest endeavor though is probably one of the craziest. Bolin decided to go invisible on the stage at TED 2013, allowing him to demonstrate the technique on stage and provide a little insight into how he manages to go invisible so convincingly.
“For the talk, I stood up on stage with my outfit pre-painted,” he explains, “and then one of my assistants worked with the camera and stood back to instruct the other painter on what to do, where to paint, what colors to use, until from the camera I appear invisible.”
