Chilean artist Marco Evaristti, well known for his shock-art, has created 48 meatballs cooked in his own body fat. The fat was extracted using liposuction. Cans of 10 meatballs will be on sale for US$4000.
Evaristti has gained notoriety for previous shock-art which has included painting an iceberg red in 2004 and putting live fish in a blender and inviting people to kill the fish by turning the blender on.
He served some of his meatballs to friends with pasta and a "bon appetit". Later he said, "The question of whether or not to eat human flesh is more important than the result. You are not a cannibal if you eat art."
