Abstract

It’s frequent to assert that art’s aim is to make visible the invisible. But it can also go the other way around. In this article I introduce several modern and contemporary artists who, rather than revealing, they hide and camouflage, seeking anonymity and privacy, in a firm reaction against the complete transparency demanded by the contemporary society of panoptism and global view.
