In order to protest the usage of fossil fuels, police in Germany detained German climate activists who had thrown mashed potatoes onto a Claude Monet plate in a museum. This stunt did not damage the artwork.
According to CNBC, the group posted a video on Twitter last Sunday depicting a man and a woman ejaculating mashed potatoes on the plate, kneeling in front of her, and pasting their hands to the wall as they demonstrated against the Monet painting “Les Meulles” at the Barrini Museum in Potsdam, a city on the outskirts of Berlin. The demonstration was directed at the painting.
All she feared was tomato soup or mashed potatoes on a platter, so she exclaimed in German in front of the Monet artwork, “We are in a climatic calamity.” “If we fight over food, this painting won’t be worth much.”

This incident marked the most recent assault on a well-known piece of art by demonstrators demanding action on climate change.
Earlier this month, Just Stop Oil activists were detained when they threw tomato soup on Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” painting at the London National Exhibition.
These climatic protests have received wide attention on the Internet and varying reactions, as some criticized activists for doing what they see as misleading attacks of loved art in order to attract attention..
