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.

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.

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? "

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