A South Korean Art Student ate a banana that was part of an installation by artist Maurizio Cattelan , saying he was " hungry" after skipping breakfast.

The artwork called " Comedian" part of Cattelan's's exhibition " WE" consisted of a ripe banana duct-taped to a wall at Seoul's Leeum Musuem of Art.

After eating the banana, The Student , Noh Huyn-soo, taped the peel to The Wall .

The Museum later placed a new banana at the same spot, reported local media.

The Incident , which lasted More Than a minute, was recorded by Mr Noh's friend.

The Leeum Musuem of Art did not respond to an email inquiry by The Bbc . However, it told media that it will not claim damages against The Student .

The banana on display is reportedly replaced every two or Three Days .

In posted online, shouts of " excuse me" can be heard as Mr Noh takes the banana off The Wall . He does not respond and starts eating as The Room goes quiet.

He then tapes the peel to The Wall and poses for a moment before walking off.

Mr Noh later told local media that he saw Cattelan's work as a rebellion against a certain authority. " There could be another rebellion against the rebellion, " the Seoul National University student told.

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

When told about The Incident , Mr Cattelan said, " No problem at all".

This is not the First Time bananas used for Mr Cattelan's work have been eaten by a visitor.

In 2019, Performance Artist David Datuna pulled the banana from The Wall after the artwork was sold for $120,000 (£91,000) at Art Basel in Miami.

The banana was swiftly replaced and no further action was taken.
