Abstract
We cite from the COVER:
"The work of Trevor Paglen, inveterate artist, writer, and "experimental geographer," deliberately blurs the lines between contemporary art, journalism, and social science to depict what is hidden from view by U.S. military and intelligence organizations."
"Invisible: Covert Operations and Classified Landscapes is the first survey of Paglen's artwork. In it, he explores "the limits of the visible world, the nature of evidence, and the fuzzy and contradictory relationship between vision, imaging, knowing, belief, and truth."
"Paglen uses an array of tactics to depict both what can be seen and what cannot. Ultimately, his explorations point to the historic relationship between photography and domination—from the Western frontier photography of the nineteenth century, to classified reconnaissance satellites of the new frontier— and reveal fascinating and harrowing truths along the way."
