Andrei Molodkin says he has put masterpieces donated to him in a 29-ton safe hooked up to two barrels .

The barrels will create a reaction strong enough to destroy all contents of the safe.

Assange 's wife, Stella , says the project asks the question: "which is the greater taboo: destroying art or destroying human life?" The safe will be sealed on Friday at the artist's studio in France .
