Footage shows Noh Huyn-soo unpeeling and eating piece of fruit in work by Maurizio Cattelan before reattaching peel to wall
A South Korean art student who ate a banana that formed part of a renowned installation by the Italian artistNoh Huyn-soo was filmed brazenly removing the banana, which was duct-taped on to a wall at the Leeum Museum ofin Seoul, unpeeling it and eating it in front of stunned onlookers before reattaching the banana skin to the wall using the same tape and walking off with a satisfied grin.
. He later told the broadcaster KBS that he thought “damaging a work of modern art could also be [interpreted as] artwork” and that he came up with the idea to reattach the peel as “a joke”.The banana, part of Cattelan’s Comedian installation, gets replaced every two or three days. It is not the first time a banana from the work has been scoffed. During the work’s debut exhibit at Miami Art Basel in 2019 a banana was removed and eaten by the performance artist David Datuna.that while he considered Cattelan to be “a genius”, he took issue with the huge amount of money made from a banana that cost 20 cents.
