Mimmo Rotella

Domenico "Mimmo" Rotella, (October 7, 1918 – January 8, 2006), was an Italian artist and poetbest known for his works of décollage and psychogeographics, made from torn advertising posters.

Décollage, in art, is the opposite of collage; instead of an image being built up of all or parts of existing images, it is created by cutting, tearing away or otherwise removing, pieces of an original image^[1]. Examples include inimage or etrécissements and excavations. A similar technique is thelacerated poster, a poster in which one has been placed over another or others, and the top poster or posters have been ripped, revealing to a greater or lesser degree the poster or posters underneath.
