“Accostabile ad un libro d’artista per l’adozione della abituale copertina rossa, il piccolo libro fu realizzato in occasione della mostra milanese presso la Galleria dell’Ariete. Si Tratta quindi di un ca- talogo che non illustra un’esposizione, ma vuole piuttosto evocarne le suggestioni. Infatti oltre alla figura dell’Impiccato, che certo riecheggia lo Shaman-Showman del decennio precedente, un testo boettiano scritto con grafia mancina introduce alle tematiche proposte”. (Giorgio Maffei)
