Genesis

The technique of recomposing the found object, of amorphous residues, into a new meaning, is naturally Dadaist in origin, but in Colla, beyond ironic corrosion, what counts more is the dramatic thrust of a restlessness somewhere between Surrealist and Expressionist, which then contradicts itself, at the moment of recomposing the image in a constructive rigour, architettonico.
