第3030期:A student eats an artwork

A South Korean art student, Noh Huyn-soo, made headlines when he ate a banana from a famous installation by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan at the Leeum Museum of Art in Seoul.

一个韩国艺术学生诺·贤洙（Noh Huyn-soo）因在首尔Leeum Museum of Art吃掉意大利艺术家Maurizio Cattelan一件著名装置艺术中的香蕉而登上新闻头条。

In a video captured by a friend, Noh boldly removed the duct-taped banana from the wall, ate it in front of astonished onlookers, and then reattached the banana peel using the same tape before leaving with a satisfied expression.

在朋友拍摄的视频中，诺大胆地将用胶带粘在墙上的香蕉取下，当着震惊围观者的面把它吃掉，随后又用同样的胶带把香蕉皮重新贴回墙上，并带着满意的表情离开。

When questioned by the museum, Noh explained that he was hungry and saw the act as a form of artistic expression.

当被博物馆询问时，诺解释说自己当时饿了，并认为这一行为也是一种艺术表达。

The banana is part of Cattelan’s installation called Comedian and is regularly replaced every few days.

这根香蕉是卡特兰名为Comedian的装置艺术作品的一部分，而且每隔几天都会定期更换。

This is not the first time the banana has been consumed, as performance artist David Datuna ate a banana from the installation during its exhibition in Miami in 2019.

这已经不是这根香蕉第一次被吃掉了，因为行为艺术家David Datuna曾在2019年该作品于Miami展出期间，也吃过装置中的一根香蕉。

Cattelan, known for provocative artworks, reportedly had no issue with Noh’s actions.

据报道，以挑衅性艺术作品闻名的卡特兰，对诺的行为并不介意。
