London installation artist Michael Landy, 37, is
destroying all his possessions in the name of art. The objects, which range from odd socks to
valuable art works by Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst, will be pulverised as part
of an art performance named
Break Down.
Landy attained fame in 1994, when an installation of his (consisting of a
bin full of rubbish) was accidentally disposed of by the gallery's cleaner.
