Police broke down the doors of a London art gallery to save a woman slumped unconscious over a table – only to discover she was made of packing tape and foam filler.<\/p>\n

The lifeless woman they had been trying to save was in fact an art installation entitled ‘Kristina’ which is on display at the London gallery.<\/p>\n

The work was commissioned by Steve Lazarides, Banksy’s former agent and the dealer behind Laz Emporium.<\/p>\n

Mr Lazarides said: “Hannah who was working in the gallery that day had just locked up and gone upstairs to make a cup of tea.<\/p>\n

“She came down to find the door off its hinges and two confused police officers!”<\/p>\n

London’s Metropolitan Police were responding to a call about a “person in distress” at the gallery.<\/p>\n

“Officers forced entry to the address, where they uncovered that the person was in fact a mannequin,” a police spokesperson told Artnet News.<\/p>\n

The installation features a woman wearing trainers and a yellow hoody slumped face forward in a bowl of soup, her long blonde hair concealing her face.<\/p>\n

The realistic sculpture is by American artist Mark Jenkins and is based on Mr Lazarides’ sister.<\/p>\n

This is apparently not the first time the installation, which sits in the gallery window, has caused trouble. In October, paramedics were called to assist the woman, Artnet News reported.<\/p>\n
