During China’s great economic transition to a market economy, in the early 2000s, 21 million people lost their job. In his artwork Laid Off Workers, Liu Bolin poses six of those laid-off workers against a green and white wall, camouflaging them into the factory where they worked for their entire lives. Above them a slogan from the Cultural Revolution reads: “The communist period is the thriving force behind our cause.”
