Police break into gallery to rescue unconscious woman only to find out she was actually an art installation

Police last month broke down the doors of an art gallery in an attempt to save an unconscious woman - only to discover that she wasn’t actually real.






Police last month broke down the doors of an art gallery in an attempt to save an unconscious woman - only to discover that she wasn’t actually real.

The installation, called Kristina is on display at the Laz Emporium in London, UK, and was actually made of packing tape and foam filler. The realistic sculpture was created by artist Mark Jenkins and is based on the sister of gallery owner, Steve Lazarides.

“Hannah who was working in the gallery that day had just locked up and gone upstairs to make a cup of tea,” said Lazarides.

“She came down to find the door off its hinges and two confused police officers.”
