    Complex Shit by Paul McCarthy

     

    "A giant inflatable dog turd by American artist Paul McCarthy blew away
    from an exhibition in the garden of a Swiss museum, bringing down a
    power line and breaking a greenhouse window before it landed again, the
    museum said Monday.

    The art work, titled Complex Shit, is the size of a house. The wind carried it 200 meters from the Paul Klee Centre in Berne before it fell back to Earth
    in the grounds of a children's home, said museum director Juri Steiner.

    The
    inflatable turd broke the window at the children's home when it blew
    away on the night of July 31, Steiner said. The art work has a safety
    system which normally makes it deflate when there is a storm, but this
    did not work when it blew away."
