An artist known as the Invisible Man strikes again as he blends into his surroundings at Ground Zero.
Liu Bolin, from China, painted himself from head-to-toe to become suitably camouflaged in front of Freedom Tower, where the Twin Towers once stood, in New York.
The work is dedicated to the memory of those killed in America's worst terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Hiding In New York, his latest exhibition, has just opened at the Eli Klein Gallery in the city.
A gallery spokesman said: 'The newest releases show different perspectives on the legacy of September 11.
