‘The invisible man’ includes large-scale photographs of his recent self-camouflage works ‘hiding in the city’ as well as ‘dragon series’. In ‘hiding in the city’ series of photographs, bolin pays tribute to the history of china, particularly that of beijing. In one group of images ‘dragon series’, the artist has chosen the iconic site of the ‘nine dragon wall’ in beihai park to celebrate the grandeur of chinese culture and history. the motif of the five-clawed dragon, symbol of imperial power, chasing the inflamed pearl is prominent in chinese classical culture. the ceramic wall is also a magnificent illustration of chinese artistic craftsmanship.

From june 21st to 22nd, he will hide in a shelf of new york magazines and newspapers. for his second photo, he will disguise himself in graffiti art on the street – potentially kenny scharf’s mural on houston and bowery (still unconfirmed), and the thrid photo will be taken at ground zero. these performances are open for public viewing.

In your fridge’ by stephanie de rouge

With a fascination for big cities and their occupants, new york-based photographer stéphanie de rougé started out with a series that documented various types of people in their most natural environment the bedroom – but found this space to be lacking in intimacy and permanence. ‘the building walls don’t talk. New yorkers move all the time, share and sublet rooms,’ says rougé. ‘not a good setting for a long term relationship with one self.’
From there, she organically stumbled upon the idea of ‘in your fridge’, a candid series of images which records individuals and the inner contents of their refrigerators. highly voyeuristic and honest, the collection of photographs is a spin on the idea of portraits, capturing an almost intrusive side of the subject’s daily life.
