September 7, 2011 Plasticizer

Another kind of optical illusion.



Plasticizers make plastic more pliable.

This piece expresses the artist's speechlessness at the amount of plasticizer found in food.

After this picture was taken, the artist's assistants finished painting him to complete the illusion.

Artist Liu Bolin

This guy's art makes me think of that scene at the start of Be Kind Rewind. Maybe Liu Bolin sweded the idea from the movie?
