Shia LaBeouf continued his erratic behavior at the Berlin Film Festival Sunday, when he walked the red carpet for his film Nymphomaniac wearing a paper bag over his head just hours after walking out of a press conference for the same film.

LaBeouf has been himself out of the press ever since his plagiarized short-film was exposed in December, 2013. And, after tweeting a series of plagiarized apologies, LaBeouf stopped communicating to fans via Twitter, opting instead to repeat the same statement every day: “I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE.”

Shia LaBeouf Walks Out Of 'Nymphomaniac' Press Conference

At the press conference for Nymphomaniac, LaBeouf appeared with producer Louise Vesth and co-stars Stellan Skarsgard, Stacy Martin, Christian Slater and Uma Thurman, where he answered one question before walking off stage.

Nymphomaniac, the newest film from director Lars Von Trier, has been making headlines since before it began production. The film is said to contain many explicit sex scenes, and the first question asked to the panel was about the great number of sex scenes. When it came LaBeouf’s turn to answer, he leaned into his microphone slowly and said, “When the seagulls follow the trawler, it’s because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much.”

With that, LaBeouf got up and exited, without another word to the press or his co-stars. Slater tried to joke about LaBeouf’s strange behavior and confusing statement before resuming the press conference.

LaBeouf’s strange statement is taken from French soccer player Eric Cantona, who was kicked out of professional soccer in 1995 after being arrested for kicking a fan. LaBeouf even copied Cantona’s delivery of the line, which included taking a long drink of water in the middle of the sentence.

Shia LaBeouf Wears Paper Bag Over Head At Berlin Red Carpet

Later, at the film’s premiere, LaBeouf made his appearance with a brown paper bag over his head. Two holes were cut out for his eyes, and in the middle of his face was written his Twitter message: “I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE.”

Following the fallout from allegations that LaBeouf plagiarized his short film, HowardCantour.com, LaBeouf wrote on Twitter that he would be “retiring from public life.”

LaBeouf 'I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE': Performance Art?

Perhaps his new red carpet look is a reflection of that sentiment, but it is more likely that LaBeouf intends his behavior to be a piece of ‘performance art.’ Right after he tweeted about his retirement from public life, LaBeouf shared a link to his “Metamodernism Manifesto.”

“We propose a pragmatic romanticism unhindered by ideological anchorage. Thus, metamodernism shall be defined as the mercurial condition between and beyond irony and sincerity, naivety and knowingness, relativism and truth, optimism and doubt, in pursuit of a plurality of disparate and elusive horizons. We must go forth and oscillate,” reads the final prong of the manifesto.

If LaBeouf’s behavior at the Berlin Film Festival is a piece of performance art, then perhaps it will also signal the death of the project. In late January, 2014, LaBeouf tweeted, and then deleted, a statement that read, “Performance [artists[ funerals are the artist last art piece before leaving. Berlin is a funeral.”

While LaBeouf’s ‘performance art’ has earned him fans in fellow young actors, such as Emile Hirsch, whether the public goes along with his so-called ‘performance art’ or not remains to be seen.

Nymphomaniac: Volume 1 is set for limited release March 21, 2014.
