London is abuzz with bizarre reports of a massive pile of carrots dumped on the street outside Goldsmiths University of London, Lewisham. And when we say massive, we mean around 30 tons – more of a mountain than a pile. We bet you'll see those in the dark. 

The peculiar act was performed as part of a student's Master of Fine Arts degree show, with the carrots making up an art installation called 'Grounding'. Meant to highlight food wastage in the UK, it's ended up causing a fair amount of controversy, and even a protest Instagram account – we certainly haven't seen a piece attract this sort of attention so far this year, even amidst the strangeness of 2020.
