'It is a quirky little book that brings a smile to the face, a perfect antidote to the Situationist tome you felt it necessary to purchase but never quite understood' (Art Monthly)

Nellanutella is Gelatin's souvenir of Venice, made in connection with their contribution to 2001's Biennale (in, around, behind the Austrian Pavilion). The boys took Yves Klein's Leap into the Void to its ludicrous extreme by throwing themselves repeatedly into Venice's canals. From café tables, bridges, boats, they immerse themselves in Venice's watery byways. The book is comprised of 81 colour photographs documenting their plunges.
