The artwork, called Comedian, was part of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's exhibition WE at Seoul's Leeum Museum of Art, and consisted of a ripe banana duct-taped to a wall.
Some would say his artwork is good enough to eat - or perhaps this was just a case of forbidden fruit.
But Maurizio Cattelan became the victim of his own artistic greatness over the weekend after a hungry South Korean student ate a banana that was part of one of his art installations. The artwork, called Comedian, was part of Mr Cattelan's exhibition WE at Seoul's Leeum Museum of Art, and consisted of a ripe banana duct-taped to a wall.
Feeling peckish, art student Noh Huyn-soo, from Seoul National University, ripped the banana from the wall upon his visit to the museum, before devouring it as a snack in front of shocked onlookers.The incident was recorded by the student's friend and lasted more than a minute."It happened suddenly, so no special action was taken. The artist was informed of the incident but he didn't have any reaction to it," the museum spokesperson added.
"There could be another rebellion against the rebellion," he told KBS."Damaging an artwork could also be seen as an artwork, I thought that would be interesting... Isn't it taped there to be eaten?"
