Urban Camouflage
Laurent La Gamba makes photographic installations dealing with camouflage. His work juggles with the idea of natural procrypsis in the urban space and deals with the relations among people, living environment, and technology.

Hm. Reminds me of Liu Bolin, whose work is frankly more poigniant and makes better use of the gimmick. I don’t really understand the purpose of a woman blending in with a car, or in the supermarket. Is the person supposed to be subordinated to the environment somehow? What’s the relevance?
Here’s some of Bolin’s work, and a description of his concept: http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/meet-the-real-life-invisible-man.html
Yeah the first thing that came to mind was “Liu Bolin “
Nice ones, Bolin’s work seems more elaborate.
However I prefer this form of urban camouflage as it’s not as 2dimensional.
