 THE INVISIBLE MAN

In his latest work created in the summer of 2011 at his Beijing studio, Chinese artist Liu Bolin blends into a background of supermarket soft drink display. When his assistants finished painting him in, he seemed to have disappeared. Entitled Plasticizer, the pieces are supported to express Bolin’s shock at the discovery of plasticizer in food product. Plasticizer are additives generally used to make plastic and other non-food products less rigid.

 

Such pictures have made Bolin internationally famous, which is ironic because they started out as statement about how unwanted he felt by society. Bolin loves the challenge of blending into any surrounding: a building site, a telephone box, a national monument. No trick photography or photoshopping is used and careful planning is needed for each image. First, before entering the scene, he tells the photographer how he would like the picture to look. Then he asks his assistant to paint him in. This process can take up to ten hours while Bolin stands completely still, presumably in some discomfort.

 

His picture appears to have struck a chord with many people because more recently, Bolin has branched out from his Chinese roots and created a series of photos where he is camouflaged in other setting: New York, Paris, Venice, Rome and London.

 

The closest similar meaning of additive is …………….

• Decline

• Substraction

• Reduction

• Diminution

• Supplement
