Shia LaBeouf vs. Donald Trump: ‘Transformer’ Actor’s Protest Art Taken Down by 4Chan Trolls; Successfully Moved in England
Shia LaBeouf along with Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner launched an anti-Donald Trump protest art that has been often downed by 4chan trolls. However, the 30-year-old star seems will never give-up as his demonstration will still go on even though in a different location.
LaBeouf's anti-Trump protest art reads "he will not divide us" was launched on the exact Inauguration Day of the new President. The message can be seen located in Queens and has a camera installed on the wall of the Museum of the Moving Image, The New Yorker reported.
Any passersby that could see the message are invited to look into the camera and recite the words "he will not divide us." LaBeouf eyes this to continue for four years covering the exact duration of Trump's term and can be live-streamed at www.hewillnotdivide.us.
LaBeouf's protest art caught the attention of the people on 4chan and the anonymous users decided to complain the actor's objection. "Shia Leboof and a bunch of libtards making an a** of themselves for four years live because Trump won. /pol/ f**** with them," one said.
/pol/ stands for "politically incorrect." Just six days after the live stream of LaBeouf's protest art, he faced one of the trolls and get arrested on camera. Hence, Museum of the Moving Image canceled its connection with the "Transformers" star's project, citing "public safety concerns."
The installation of the LaBeouf's camera at the Museum of the Moving Image has been removed for "serious public safety hazards." According to Hollywood Reporter, it was then moved to Albuquerque, N.M., in February, but it was also taken down for security purposes. In fact, it was reported that there were gunshots heard in the area.
However, LaBeouf's protest art has been successfully moved at FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) in Liverpool, England. "Events have shown that America is simply not safe enough for this artwork to exist," he said along with Rönkkö and Turner in a joint statement.
