When asked why he did that, the student answered that he was hungry because he had skipped breakfast that day.
The artwork was called The Comedian and was made by an Italian artist, Maurizio Cattelan. Deciding whether the art was the joke or the incident itself is hard. The art itself was a puzzle because it was difficult to understand what it meant. Some believe it was an attempt to question the traditional ideas of art, while others think it might be some joke, hence the name comedian.
As per reports, although the art was damaged, the student will not be penalised or punished for this act. The authorities stated that they change the banana every two to three days anyway.
When the artist was informed about the incident, he had no strong reaction and the student stated, “Damaging an artwork could also be seen as an artwork; I thought that would be interesting; isn’t it taped there to be eaten?”
However, this wasn’t the first time the banana was eaten, it has happened before in 2019 in Miami, where the artist who took the banana said that the artwork was delicious.

“I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
