Guido Drocco and Franco Mello, Cactus’ 1972 designers, have agreed together with Maurizio Cattelan to take important steps. It was necessary to destroy the icon to terminate the idol. But how to do it? Maurizio mindful of the golden calf, realised that the only way to eradicate this phenomenon was to insert into the icon an animal element considered unpopular to the peoples worshipping the Cactus. It is a pity that they did not take into consideration the fact that eggs are considered divine signs of fertility and regeneration.
It was a big mistake: a new god was born. The Cactus with eggs is now GOD! |
