Aletheia is a Greek term that, among its meanings, also translates as Unhiding. The reference to Mathias Goeritz's Messages has to do with the expectation that they unhide something before the viewer's contemplation. In the case of Aletheia, if the viewer succeeds in deciphering the anagram, he or she encounters the word unhiding, that is, nothing is revealed but the word itself without any message. In this sense, it is a critique of minimalist literalism and also a play with concrete visual poetry.
