I was checking out one of my favorite websites when I came across some gasp-worthy food art. Belgian contemporary artist Wim Delvoye has created a marble floor with salami. Upon first sight of the piece, I was simultaneously wowed by the Delvoye's creativity and . . . hungry.
I already consider food art, but this installation made me consider art as food. Alas, it turns out the patterns are actually made of C prints of the meat (not actual meat) so it couldn't be eaten anyway. What do you think of it? Would you want an inedible marble salami floor?

This reminds me of Kate Beckinsale's prosciutto dress.
1If I were ever to open a Jamon joint in Spain, I would totally get one of these floors.
2umm...that's just ..um...kind of gross i think. i don't even know how to respond to this one - but eww!
i think that he took a lot of time to make something really nice but it's just horrible think about. ick!
3That would be classic in a high end specialty butcher/deli store. I can totally envision it ... walking across a floor of salami, proscuitto and mortadella ordering a pound of antipasti.
That would be super cool.
4It looks a lot like marble!!
5It's really quite pretty. Impressive...
6I don't really like it, I think it is ugly. Then again, I don't like salami.
7I think its cool i woudnt eat it but my doggie would!!
8I think it's awesome.
9...can you imagine the smell that would give off? Oh lawd.
10Well, for me its a good color for salami but a bad color for my floor.
11dear goddess, i am now tempted to go to my fridge and eat the salami. nice floor pattern, but marble please
hehe.
