  • Catalogue Essay

    “The act of ripping that I perform in the streets when the posters appear to me as a crucial moment in nature is totally different from the ripping that I later perform in my studio when, by following my vision, I create something that, like the 'ready-made', is a metaphor of the world.” Mimmo Rotella, 1961
