For inhabitants of large cities is easy to feel than are invisible, and Trina Merry used this idea literally to develop her work. Using the technique of bodypainting, to transform models topless in landscapes of the Big Apple. Only the use of brightly colored sneakers draw attention to the images that make up the bodies with the Guggenheim Museum or the Manhattan bridge.
“I wanted to engage the city and understand it and make some observations,” Merry told the AP. “So instead of a person right in front of the Empire State building or the Statue of Liberty, they’re softly in the background, and you’ve got more of a reflective view of the person within the landscape.”
Angle was everything when camouflaging each model into the landscape. It took six hours to complete each “work.”
