Boing Boing Staging

Artist steals top 1-inch piece of England's tallest mountain

Ecuadorian artist Oscar Santillan removed the top inch of England’s tallest mountain for his exhibition in London, and people want him to return it.

His so-called “suggestive gesture,” said to reflect the way humans have imposed their cultural categories over nature, has infuriated local tourism chiefs and walkers.

Ian Stephens, managing director of Cumbria Tourism, said: “This is taking the mickey and we want the top of our mountain back.”
