Cattelan clearly understands the comical world we live in;

How quickly, 

One seemingly neutral image can be turned into the object for which a war is fought over;

a war we never realize is pointless.

How easily we all take sides

and how the media encourages us to.

That we fight over the stupidest things while a child starves or

a man is killed.  


While every person 

Argued passionately about this banana at their dinner table.

While we all took sides,

while we all felt a growling in our stomachs knowing that a five year old

could have made it,

the world around us was burning and the flames would only

grow more rotten;


Not quite just a banana duct taped to a wall; 

Our short-sighted reactions are too a part of this piece, 

we are the part of the piece unseen.

After all,

every comedian needs a good joke:
