An art installation that featured a ripe banana taped to a wall at a Seoul art museum was devoured by a college student.

The iconic artwork titled “Comedian,” by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, was on display as part an exhibition called “WE” at the Leeum Museum of Art, which specializes in traditional Korean art and contemporary art. Noh’s impromptu feast lasted more than a minute and was caught on video, which showed the student unceremoniously peeling the artwork and enjoying his healthy treat previously valued at $120,000.
