Michael Landy’s “Break Down”

In 2001, artist Michael Landy held an exhibition called “Break Down,” in which he had all of his personal belongings destroyed over the course of two weeks. Among the destroyed items were the contents of his art collection, which included works by artists Tracy Emin and Damien Hirst.

(Note: He didn’t take it all the way - at the end of the two weeks, his home and dog remained intact)
