Representation in its true sense is not deception, but rather it is a manifestation of the truth or meaning of something. Deceptive behavior is certainly behavior that wants to represent or show us something, but when it shows it, it at the same time hides something. What is being shown and hidden here? What is simply hidden here is the truth, so that a false appearance appears before us in which we are intended to participate by believing it, but we are unable to believe it and feel suspicious about it, and therefore we feel separated from it as a discourse or dialogue that is unable to penetrate or reach us. True representation, as a manifestation of the truth of something, is a manifestation that involves a kind of concealment. Concealment here is not concealment of the truth, but rather concealment of the incidental, and something like this can be said in the case of an actor who represents a character, whether it is a historical character with a real existence or an imagined character: concealment here is not only a concealment of the incidental in what is intended to be represented, i.e. in the represented subject. But it is also a concealment of the personal characteristics of the artist who is performing the act.
