'The Happiest Day of My Life'

1. I remeber hearing that he destroys "everything" what is it that he is destroying and why would he decide to destroy something as a work of art.?
2. Is he trying to prove a point to everyone about a certain topic like, consumerism, conformity, etc.?
3. Why is it titled "The Happiest Day of My life?" is it really the happiest day, and why?

notes
He decided to have his piece take place on the most popular street in Britain, for all to see. He says that it's not about consumerism but he did it to see how dependent he was on all his consumer belongings. This is interesting, because I always thought when i heard of pieces resembling this one that its some sort of rebellion. I like that he was doing this to test himself and I could inacuratly assume that this was liberating. I imagine this piece being good for the soul and liberating. I COULD NEVER DO IT! I'm completely impressed that he could shred his fathers coat and his car keys. If I could talk to him I would ask him how he benefited from this piece, how did he feel while doing it? What was the point is getting rid of it if sooner or later he was going to have to buy new possesions? that seems a little expensive and ridiculous. Did it create a burden in his life since he had nothing when he was done? I guess the answers to my first questions were answered by the text. It was the happiest day of his life because he felt completely liberated when done, but i just want to know how he felt when it came time to need some of his possesions. I found it interesting that he was destroying something and it was considered art, when "normally we create new things and call it art. I think it was very creative, but I guess that is what makes him a great artist and unique; is the way he dieverted from "normalcy"
