Do Not Mess With Fish 288,

and you thought fish were fun!


but it was not funny when a security guard, employed to protect works of art at a contemporary art exhibition at Moscow’s VDNKh permanent exhibition centre, decided to eat one! it happened like this, the artwork named “Escape of the Goldfish”, featured a goldfish bowl with a goldfish sticking out of it right next to a painting of the open sea, with another goldfish stuck to it as if it had jumped from the bowl and into the waves, after noticing one of the goldfish had disappeared security tapes were examined, shock, horror! a security guard can be seen approaching Escape of the Goldfish and casually pulling on the two fish, at one point, he holds the painting of the open sea with one hand and pulls on the goldfish with the other until it comes off, He then smells the fish, I guess a fake, and tries to take a bite of it,

when confronted about his behaviour, the man simply shrugged and said that he had had a tough night with very little sleep, and he did not understand what he was doing when he vandalized the art piece, apparently the guard has been suspended from his job and Escape of the Goldfish was restored after a few days.
