In "Il Pistolino degli stracci" the cherub rather than to refer to the traditional iconography of Eros, plays a critical Arte Povera, transferring the viewer the idea that art is always in need of renewal, to abandon schemes already proposed, Also get rid of the legacy of the past, to make way for new visions. As Pistoletto has overturned the classic putting a Venus in front of the rags, so Teresa Seasoned poses a cupid in front of the pile of torn tissue, intended to mock the original concept from which the installation is born. The work The Wimp rags opposes therefore to Arte Povera, which lies only partly on critical positions and desecrating: it is animated, rather, by the desire to rediscover the primary values ​​of man, as the meaning of the earth , nature, pure energy, history, adding the will to investigate the relationship between the subject and reality, dominated by the mechanisms of modern society, to go against the concept of unique and unrepeatable work of art and hope for a fusion of art and life.
