A pineapple jokingly placed on a table in an art exhibition has been put inside a glass display case by curators.

Robert Gordon University (RGU) student Ruairi Gray abandoned the piece of fruit at the Look Again exhibition as a prank.

When he returned to the building a few days later on Monday, May 1, he found a glass case had been placed around the pineapple and it had been kept among the artworks.

The Look Again Visual Art and Design Festival, based at RGU, is described as "a celebration of the very best contemporary visual art and design, showcasing both local and internationally acclaimed talent in Aberdeen."

Mr Gray, 22, told his student union magazine: "I saw the opportunity to be an artist and took it."

"I was convinced someone would move it but I came in today (Monday) and it had been fully accepted as part of the art display."

The business information technology student continued: "This was the perfect way to end my time at university".
