For "Invisible," Koo Kyung Sook impressed her body on bubble wrap coated with photo-developer on a grid of photographic paper. The applied developer acts like ink on the exposed paper. These sheets were scanned into a computer and printed on handmade Mulberry paper. This is one of a series of body prints the artist made while undergoing treatment for cancer.
