The work of the unit called 'Tarnen und Täuschen' (Disguise and Deception) consists of creating impressions and experiences. Therefore their work can be considered as an artistic intervention. The underlying principle of 'Tarnen und Täuschen' and their artisanal fake weaponry are used as metaphors in the series 'Disguise and Decepton' by visual artist Anika Schwarzlose (DE, 1982).

With her photographs she navigates a world consisting of deception and illusion. The series reflects on the nature of the image, on military and artistic strategies. The images refer to the Cold War and simultaneously represent a situation that is still current today.
