A Marble Floor Made of . . . Salami?

Sep 16 2008 - 11:15am

I was checking out one of my favorite websites [1] when I came across some gasp-worthy food art [2]. Belgian contemporary artist Wim Delvoye [3] 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 [4], 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?
