The glasses pieces don't imitate the box dimensions - they go into the box dimensions. They're smaller than the boxes.
If a work like this actually sold for a significant value, I would argue that the FedEx person who threw it about and broke it SHOULD be compensated for their contribution to the work, all the more since their unknowingness was absolutely part of the nature of the artwork (it wouldn't be the artwork if just the artist put the thing into a box and then dropped it).
Do the producers of brushes, paints, and canvases own any of the art that their products make possible? Does the owner of an art gallery own the photos I take during my paid visit?

I imagine that this is the same as taking a photo of a stock image. That doesn't make any sense.
Reminds me of why you can't take a photo of the Eiffel Tower at night. https://youtu.be/M16CGK1T9MM
Does FedEx own this art, and should the credited individual be paying them a share of the money earned from its display?
