Jimmie Durham placed fruits on a table and painted a few stones so that they would each resemble one of the pieces of fruit. He smashed (or stoned) the fruits using the corresponding stone: stone grapes on real grapes, stone banana on real banana, idem with a mango, a watermelon, a papaya...
The final artwork consists of the video of the performance and a table with the stone fruit on it.
