Oxford Street, in England’s capital city, is not known for cultural events. But for ten days in early 2001, it was the address for a fascinating art "performance" : Michael Landy’ s Break Down. Inside an old department store, the 37-year old artist destroyed every one of his 7, 006 personal possessions.
The Break Down took Landy three years to plan. His socks, his fridge, his passport—everything he owned was numbered and labeled. The details were entered into a computer. Then a huge industrial machine for breaking things was moved into the empty C&A clothes store. Finally, on 24 February 2001, Landy and ten assistants in blue uniforms began breaking each listed item. One assistant pulled apart Landy’ s Saab car. Another tore up Landy’ s family photographs. Others "worked" on his furniture and clothes. Then the pieces were placed in plastic yellow boxes for Landy to push into the machine. He finished with personal items that he could never replace; his paintings, his father’s old coat. The result was six tons of useless rubbish.
Landy said he didn’t want to make people feel bad. But many of the 45, 000 people that came to see the Break Down were unhappy. Some felt it wasn’t right to throw away things that the poor could use. Others said Landy was doing the whole thing to become famous. Almost everybody, however, was excited in some way by the event. "What was he trying to say?" they wondered. Landy gave a number of different answers to this question. "The only thing you can take away from this, " he once said, " is your experience of it. That’s the most important thing to me; it’s not for sale. " [br] How did Landy break his things?By using______
选项
答案
a huge industrial machine
解析
(由文章第二段提到的“a huge industrial machine for breaking things was moved into the empty C&A clothes store”以及“…push into the machine”可知Landy是通过这个巨大的工业机器来销毁他的物品的。)
