Published on the occasion of the landmark retrospective exhibition of the same name held at the Hendrik Christian Andersen Gallery of Modern Art Italy in 2012. Presents Liu Bolin's "A Secret Tour". A rare East-Meets-West artistic encounter and event: His performance-art photographs of Italy. Liu Bolin gained enormous recognition with his "Hiding In The City" photographs. As a result of the Series, Bolin was dubbed "The Invisible Man", an epithet that is catchy and accurate: The overriding theme of his oeuvre is the confrontation between individual identity and social reality, which tragically leads to the individual's "disappearing" state. In the "A Secret Tour" Series, Bolin makes a detour and alludes poetically to the contact of a Chinese artist (namely himself) with Western art. As a foreign presence who remains an absence, Bolin applies the same techniques (that made him famous, preceded in its use only by Veruschka's "Trans-figurations"), melding himself to the grandeur and beauty of the Italian landscape. Apart from the fact that he has transplanted himself to Italy, the heart of European art, it is obviously a pleasure to see his "disappearing" state adapted to more positive, lyrical, and even witty effect. It should also be noted that, in our Digital Age, none of Liu Bolin's work is digitized or Photo-Shopped. Instead, they are all painstakingly constructed, staged, and photographed by Liu Bolin, and this monograph shows how he does it through documentary photographs that he directed himself. An absolute "must-have" title for Liu Bolin collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Monograph available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER LIU BOLIN TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 8889477881. no. Seller Inventory # 19159
