LIU BOLIN - GIAMMARCO AU 1168
Giammarco AU 1168 is a photograph taken by Chinese artist Liu Bolin in a limited edition of 6 and measuring 47x35,5 in.
The work is dedicated to migrants landing on Italian shores but also to those who, unfortunately, do not make it and die in the sea. The artwork belongs to the series Hiding in the City, and in this work the artist blends in with the landscape of the harbor of Catania.
The reason behind the choice of this location is that for the past several years, a number of fishing boats have been moored on the docks of the harbor, carrying more than four hundred people on some journeys from Africa to Italy. The title of the work is the name of one of these boats.
The shot by Liu Bolin, Giammarco AU 1168 is an archival pigment print.

Born in 1973 in Shandong, China, Liu Bolin was a student at the Central Academy of Applied Art in Beijing. Growing up in a China that was going through a period of great economic development, he took his first steps in the art world during the last years of the Cultural Revolution.
Similar to the Chinese artist Zhang Xiaogang, the revolution significantly marked the artist’s persona as well as his visual expression. One of the events that marked the artist most was the Chinese government's demolition of an entire village inhabited by numerous independent artists, including Liu Bolin himself.
His works were repeatedly subject to censorship in China, forcing the artist to seek support in the international art scene. The first works that managed to cross the borders of China were the photo series, Hiding in the City. Liu Bolin thus became a living testimonial of life within the People’s Republic of China. In these works he dealt with themes that would end up being central to his artistic production. He focused on the relationship between human beings and the environment, power, consumerism, memory and progress.
Over the years, Liu Bolin has camouflaged himself and “disappeared” in various places around the world. He has even done so in Milan, which is the main piece in his Hiding in Italy series of works. Not only has the artist paid homage to many places around the world, but he has also exhibited in many prestigious museums. A few examples are the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Complesso Vittoriano in Rome, the UN headquarters in New York, and the Fotografiska Museet in Stockholm. Today, Liu Bolin lives and works in Beijing.
