I adore Desiree Palmen’s incredible pictures of scenes consisting of people in “invisible outfits”.

The 44 year old artist creates these works of art by photographing a scene, then copying this in pain staking detail painting onto a cotton suit which is then cleverly positioned in frame and another photograph taken. I think the pictures say it all.

“People always react strongly when they see my work. They have mixed reactions – confusion, surprise and interest. Mostly people like the idea. I’m responding to a wish to disappear. I wanted to make a suit for the noncriminal citizen whose house is being watched 24 hours a day by street cameras.” (dailymail)

love the concept and pictures. i suggest using the second or third picture as main. it conveys the idea better than the bookshelf for the outside reader.

Great camoflouge scheme. Great for 007 movie use. Radical. Have the fibers rearrage to reflect background & your Invisible. Yes nanobots rearrange fibers in clothing.
