A Love in Casablanca 2003

"A Love in Casablanca" (2003) by Mimmo Rotella is a prime example of the artist's signature Décollage style. Utilizing a found poster of the film "Casablanca," Rotella meticulously removed layers of paper, leaving behind fragmented images and text. This technique, often referred to as "deconstruction," reflects the chaotic and fragmented nature of modern life. The work's layered textures and bold colors invite viewers to explore the relationship between the original image and the artist's intervention.
