In Paris, a one hundred and eighty-three square foot paper collage - created to mark the 30th anniversary of the Louvre’s glass pyramid - was ripped apart by visitors within only a few hours.
French Artist J.R and 400 volunteers laid two thousand sheets of paper in the art gallery courtyard on Friday, making the pyramid look like it extended down into a quarry of white rock.
The artist James Rene, went on to interpret the easily destructed collage as a piece of performance art saying that “the process is all about the participation of volunteers, visitors, and souvenir hunters”
