As part of the program for L’Aquila 2026, Italian Capital of Culture, Geely Auto, in collaboration with Galleria Gaburro, presents Beyond the Visible, a project by Chinese artist Liu Bolin, which is coming to Abruzzo for the first time with a new series of performances and photographs dedicated to the region’s iconic landmarks.

In the ancient forests of the Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise National Park in Pescasseroli, in collaboration with ARTEPARCO, the public is invited to witness the entire performance live: from the preparation of the body painting to the artist’s gradual blending into the park’s vegetation and natural landscape, culminating in the creation of the never-before-seen photograph that serves as the final result. A unique opportunity to see up close how Liu Bolin vanishes before the audience’s eyes, blending into one of Italy’s most precious natural environments in a performance that explores the relationship between human presence and nature, identity, and the memory of places.

The photograph taken in Pescasseroli will be included in the project’s final exhibition, scheduled for October 2026 at Palazzo Margherita in L’Aquila.
