All’Auditorium
A pioneering example of Rotella's signature décollage technique, this work is constructed from torn and layered posters ripped from the streets of Rome, revealing fragmented imagery and text beneath the surface. The process of destruction becomes an act of creation, as the raw, peeling edges expose a palimpsest of urban visual culture. The result is a visceral and spontaneous composition that captures the energy and ephemeral nature of postwar Italian street life.
