Book synopsis

Effa age, (literally cancellation ) is a technique that was invented by Mimmo Rotella as a means of going beyond the frottage originated by the Surrealists, and is the most ironic and irreverent way of observing reality. A tireless experimenter, Rotella uses discarded messages, with one eye on eroticism and the other on the history of art, fixing them definitively in the memory and draining them of any mundaneness. Rotella takes the stereotypes of mass culture and gradually hollows them out, as is so often the case in his work, and travels through the labyrinth of the image, eliminating any point of reference. As he did with his d, collages, he works by subtraction, eliminating all that appears redundant, superfluous and useless in a manner that anticipates some aspects of the art of the 1990s. Text in English, French and Italian.
