A South Korean art student was filmed removing a banana that formed an art installation and eating it in front of stunned onlookers, before reattaching the skin to the wall using the same tape. Noh Huyn-soo said he ate part of the Comedian installation by the Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, which was on display at the Leeum Museum of Art in Seoul, because he was hungry.

Comedian first appeared on a wall at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2019, where the work sold for $120,000. A banana was also removed and eaten by the performance artist David Datuna during that exhibition, before being swiftly replaced by the gallery without any charges being pressed
