What to call this art form?

I have been photographing found vandalized poster boards. The people who do this tear the posters previously glued, which do not tear cleanly but leave random bits of the posters.

As new posters are glued on and are torn off again, the resulting surface shows either leftovers of an old poster with the background surface of the base wood board, or a mix of older and newer posters -you may see here some samples in my portfolio titled ‘paper’ at jerrytorrens.zenfolio.com

I see these posters sharing elements of but not being properly collages. If so, what can I call them? I am looking for a formal name, perhaps one using a Greek root and suffix, or in French, but anything that would help differentiate them from standard collages would be a big help.

Thank you.
