Nicola Pucci draws from Francis Bacon, Van Gogh and Ionesco's plays to create a vibrant and chromatic dimension, through the use of absurd juxtapositions and irony.
'Divers' captures the instant which immediately precedes a jump from a trampoline. Nicola analyses the dialogue which takes place between the bodies and subsequently what can be defined as autistic and alienating social relations.
