«Him»

… Gioni then asked: What do you think will happen to your Adolph Hitler?

Cattelan: This time I wanted to destroy it myself. I changed my mind a thousand times, every day. Hiter is pure fear; it’s an image of terrible pain. It even hurts to pronounce his name. And yet that name has conquered my memory, it lives in my head, even if it remains taboo. Hitler is everywhere, haunting the specter of history; and yet he is unmentionable, irreproducible, wrapped in a blanket of silence. I’m not trying to offend anyone. I don’t want to raise a new conflict or create some publicity; I would just like that image to become a territory for negotiation or a test for our psychoses.
