That guy has way too much time on his hands. It's kind of cool, but I'm sure he could find something more constructive to do.

I do find myself wondering how long he can hold still enough to be effectively hidden.

That's Liu Bolin. He's a Chinese artist. It's what he does.

He's not really that hard to spot. His outline and features are still rather visible. Still, extremely impressive.

Apparently he likes to do this at random places and see if anyone will notice him.

If you know what to look for, sure. But when I saw the first one and the one with the construction vehicle elsewhere, with a "when you see it" caption, it took me a while to find.
The one with the guard is my favourite of these.

I can do that naturally in a crowd of people.  I have Asperger's Syndrome.  My level of non-intrusiveness is to the point of invisibility.  I can get in between two people talking to each other and they won't even notice me.

Meh, I think it's pretty cool.  Not amazingly cool or anything, but pretty cool.

Interesting camera trick.


It's not a camera trick. He is physicially painted to match the background.

Most impressive.  I do see his outline, and it reminds me of the Predator's camoflage system.

This reminds me of those guys at the University of Tokyo with their cloak. It uses a camera, a projector, and a cloak made out of a movie-screen-like material.
