New York City's Museum of the Moving Image has closed a performance art project involving Shia LaBeouf, citing "serious public safety hazards." Shia LaBeouf is seen at the art installation, in a video shared online, with an unidentified man who called the actor over for a selfie before declaring 'Hitler did nothing wrong.' It added that the piece had created "a serious and ongoing public safety hazard for the museum, its visitors, staff, local residents and businesses." Still, the museum concluded that it was "proud to have launched this engaging and thought-provoking digital art installation, which was experienced by millions of online viewers worldwide. Until public safety concerns overrode the intent of the installation, He Will Not Divide Us generated an important conversation allowing interaction among people from many backgrounds and with different viewpoints."
