Ruangrupa's members said in an apology that they had failed to spot the offensive elements of Taring Padi's installation.

|description_of_result=The offending artwork was removed. Documenta's management announced that Ruangrupa had to review the entire show for offensive content with support from the Anne Frank Center in Frankfurt. Documenta organized a committee which they called a "scientific advisory panel" to investigate the incident and produce a report on it. The goal of the committee's report was to provide objective evidence of anti-Semitism in some of the works at Documenta 15, and its ultimate conclusion was that Documenta 15 became “an echo chamber for Israel-related anti-Semitism, and sometimes for pure anti-Semitism.” Ruangrupa curators and around 65 participating artists from Documenta 15 said, “because we stand by our rejection of censorship, we vigorously opposed the creation of this scientific advisory panel.” | |description_of_result=The offending artwork was removed.
