SANTIAGO, Chile — "Bon appetit," said Chilean artist Marco Evaristti as he presented his friends with his newest creation: meatballs cooked with fat from his own body, extracted by liposuction.
"Ladies and gentleman, bon appetit and may god bless," said Evaristti, a glass in his hand, to his dining companions seated last Thursday night around a table in Santiago's Animal Gallery.
On the plates in front of them was a serving of agnolotti pasta and in the middle a meatball made with oil Evaristti removed from his body in a liposuction procedure last year.
"The question of whether or not to eat human flesh is more important than the result," he said, explaining the point of his creation.
"You are not a cannibal if you eat art," he added.
Evaristti produced 48 meatballs with his own fat, some of which would be canned and sold for $US4000 dollars for 10.
A veteran at shock-art, in an earlier work Evaristti invited people to kill fish by pressing the button on a blender the fish were held in.

How does he have friends?
That's disgusting. I hope he told them before they ate them that they were cooked in human fat.
This guy is effing nuts.

But is it art?
I sent this to a few judges I know. They said not only wasn't it art; but it isn't legal.
They forwarded it. To whom, I don't know :P
I really wish I hadn't read that. REALLY wish it.
OMG! I'm having meatballs for supper tonight. If I can stomach them after this. :(
Stories like this remind me of the story The Emperor's New Clothes. Like that guy who had a urinal as a piece of art and it sold for over million dollars. It is too hysterical
Ah, art! Art for art's sake...yuck.
I notice he calls himself a "shock artist." I guess this is a category the great masters didn't know about.
barf alert?
These lipofried threads were disgusting this weekend, and just as disgusting now.
"Bon appetit" said depraved pervert, Marco Evaristti.
You don't stomach them, you love handle them.
Weirdos seek out other weirdos so they won't be lonely?
