Catalogue Note
"Considero come mio maestro Marcel Duchamp che diceva: se un'opera d'arte non ti dà uno shock non ne vale la pena. Mi sono reso conto che sui manifesti che strappavo c'era una provocazione e una protesta. Non ci accorgiamo che le nostre città sono esse stesse dei capolavori."
(M. Rotella, cit. in P. Vagheggi, Contemporanei. Conversazioni d'artista, Milano 2006, pag. 201)
