A student in Seoul, South Korea, was filmed eating the art installation by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan before taping the banana peel back on the wall.

Renowned artist Henri Matisse once said, “creativity takes courage”.

For student Noh Huyn-soo, there is definitely some courage.


The South Korean student was at Seoul’s Leeum Museum of Art viewing Maurizio Cattelan’s exhibit Comedian.

Comedian is piece that features a ripe banana stuck to the wall with duct tape. Noh Huyn-soo was seen on camera removing the banana from its tape and eating it.

He completely ignored any cries urging him to stop and instead went on to finish the banana and re-tape the peel up on the wall.

The art was worth a whopping $120,000.

Noh Huyn-soo, in so many words, declared his little stunt a bit of performance art.

"Damaging an artwork could also be seen as an artwork, I thought that would be interesting... "
"Isn't it taped there to be eaten?"

And while the banana was replaced by the museum every few days, people everywhere are reeling… or should I say “peeling” over Noh's actions.

The museum declined claiming money from the student.

When notified of what happened, artist Maurizio Cattelan said it was, “no problem at all.”

Elon Musk Gets Blistering Reminder After Ranting About The Sun Destroying Life On Earth

Billionaire Elon Musk was given a blunt reminder about what will actually destroy life on Earth after he claimed in an interview with Fox News personality Jesse Watters that he's he's looking to colonize Mars and other planets because the Sun will eventually destroy life on Earth

The Sun, our life-sustaining star, is essentially a massive nuclear reactor, continuously converting hydrogen into helium through fusion and radiating energy outward. But like all stars, it has a finite lifespan. Scientists estimate that the Sun will exhaust its core hydrogen supply in about five billion years, marking the beginning of the end of its stable life.
