Luigi Coppola and Mark Shuttleworth's Even God Gets Distracted Sometimes is a playful yet incisive collection that interweaves poetry and visual art to explore contemporary life through surreal fables, sharp satire, and speculative reimaginings. From meditations on extinction and urban decay to absurd reinventions of myth and folklore, the work moves freely between the comic and the unsettling. Coppola's verse ranges from lyric minimalism to spoken-word exuberance, while Shuttleworth's illustrations complement and disrupt the text with bold, unpredictable energy. Together, they create a hybrid space where language and image collaborate and collide in unexpected ways.
