"It is true that they were ephemeral traces, easy to erase or cover up (with the result that very few of them survived, through the efforts of collectors who removed them, as if they were frescoes of the subway, under the cover of darkness), but their precariousness seemed 'monumental'. "

-Germano Celant

"Sono state si stracce effimere, perché immediatamente cancellabili o ricopribili (tanto che solo pochissime sono rimaste, ad opera di collezionisti che nottetempo le hanno strappate, quali affreschi metropolitani), ma la loro precarietà è apparsa 'monumentale'. "

-Germano Celant
