Catalogue Note

"Gli oggetti di Colla contengono un racconto ed una morale: sono favole di La Fontaine del nostro tempo, soltanto che le persone non sono allegorizzate in animali sapienti, ma nei frammenti di una grossa macchina rotta. Non si tratta di una facile 'poetica del rottame': l'attrazione che il rottame esercita sulla fantasia dell'artista dipende essenzialmente dal fatto che esso conserva, malgrado tutto, una forma." G.C. Argan, in Colla Scultore, Milano 1963
