Who will attack first?

The Danish-Jewish artist Marco Evaristti first gained notoriety when he displayed a piece in 200 which entailed ten blenders filled with goldfish and the patrons were encouraged to turn the blenders on. No report of any fish deaths so it is safe to assume it was a static display. Now he has put together a 600 gallon tank filled with water and fish, at the bottom of the aquarium is a Qur'an, Torah and Bible which the fish poop falls on.

Guess which group will be the first to take the insult to a violent level?

The Danish Jewish artist Marco Evaristti gained notoriety for a museum display entitled Helena in 2000 that featured ten functional blenders containing live goldfish. The display, at the Trapholt Art Museum in Kolding, Denmark, invited guests to turn on the blenders. Fish also play a central role in Evaristi's newest piece of art: A 600-liter aquarium with the Quran, the Bible and the Torah lying on the bottom, below the fish. The fish are fed and their bodily wastes will fall on the holy scriptures.

In an interview with the Danish national media, Danmarks Radio, Evaristti says: "It is a humanistic work. People may like to think about how we had it better with each other." He denies that there is a provocation. On the contrary, he calls the artwork a humanistic contribution to today's debate.
