— Welcome to the world of absurdity and oddity!In a bizarre twist of events at a modern art museum, a student devoured an exhibit of a banana duct-taped to a wall in the name of hunger. The stomach growls of this student were apparently so intense that he thought eating a part of the exhibit would quench his hunger.
The exhibit in question was a contemporary art installation at the Art Museum of Amusement, which featured a banana duct-taped to a wall with a price tag of $120,000. Visitors were allowed to admire the sole fruit on the white-washed wall but were strictly forbidden from touching or consuming the artwork. Apparently, this student skipped that part of the rule.
The museum curator, who requested anonymity for fear of being ridiculed, said they were stunned when they saw one of the onlookers peeling and munching on the exhibit with relish. "We did not expect anyone to have the audacity to eat the banana. The museum is not a grocery store," the curator said.
Security personnel were quick to intervene, and the student was taken into custody, but the damage was already done. The eaten artwork left the museum in a rather embarrassing, disorderly, and hungry state. "It's a piece of s***!" mumbled a passer-by, as the remains of the banana and tape lay on the empty wall.
The student told the museum caretakers that he was hungry, and the display looked tempting, and he thought eating the artwork was the right thing to do. He also admitted that he could have easily purchased a banana from the vending machine, but the one on the wall seemed like a more valuable option.
The hungry art exhibit devourer’s identity has not been disclosed by the museum. However, sources tell us that he is a struggling college student who pays exorbitant fees and consumes stale coffee at the campus cafeteria to survive.
The incident took social media by storm, with people condemning the stupidity and narcissism of the vandal. But some creative minds did not waste any time in making witty jokes about the artwork. A Twitter user said, "This student clearly has a lot on his plate," while another remarked, "The banana made the ultimate sacrifice, but at what cost?"
The museum authorities have assured that the eaten artwork will be replenished shortly. Still, this time it will come with a warning to avoid any additional munching. "Only in the world of contemporary art can an eaten banana become an exhibit itself," the curator added, shaking his head.
As absurd as it sounds, the student not only ate the banana but also managed to eat through $120,000, a piece of art whose value has increased significantly due to the insensitive eating that took place. The lesson learned from this incident now seems to be that when you're hungry, buy something edible, not art!
It is crazy that someone would eat a piece of art, but this world is full of oddities and unexpected occurrences. We can only hope that the student now has sufficient nutrients to continue his never-ending appetite.
