Woman’s Selfie Attempt Accidentally Damages $200,000 Worth Of Art

Selfies take another victim. This time, it’s art from LA’s 14th Factory art gallery. 

The “Hypercaine” exhibit features all sorts of crown designs.

 

Inside a serene space, singular objects rest on plinths: these are crowns, or at least some resemblance of what a crown might be, presented as precious trophies or boons. The title of this work was inspired by the electronic dance track ‘Hypercaine’ by DJ Fresh. It is also a signifier of the ultimate human drug — power. – Simon Birch, Gloria Yu, Gabriel Chan and Jacob Blizter Brass, nylon, gold plate, marble, wood, stone, metal, 2016 – Customize your own crown ring in nylon, brass, gold-plated brass, silver or gold at the gift shop.

She kneels for the selfie before one of the pieces, but then stumbles back into the display which falls onto the next one, and the next one… At the end of the video, you can see her trying to put the displays back, but it’s too late.
