So you thought eating corgi meatballs was weird? Well apparently it's not so strange after all.
Infamous and controversial artist Marco Evaristti has rocked and shocked the art world yet again. I first heard of him when he exhibited a fish swimming in a blender full of water. As conceptual art the work represented temptation, taboo and tantalization. Any gallery patron could press the ‘on’ button if they so desired. There was some controversy over whether the blender should be plugged in, and how this could alter the entire meaning of the artwork.
Evaristti’s newest creation is a meal of meatballs and pasta, made using fat from Evaristti’s own body, removed during liposuction. The meatballs will be canned and if you like you can buy 10 for $4000 US. Who knows if this haute cuisine matures and improves with age? Investors will be the judges.
“You are not a cannibal if you eat art," Marco Evaristti claims.
Don’t believe me?
