"SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Last year, Chilean-born artist Marco Evaristti mixed fat removed from his body by liposuction with ground beef to make meatballs, which he fried in olive oil and displayed in a public gallery.
This year, he plans to climb Western Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc on the French-Italian border, colour the summit pink and declare it an independent state, with himself as president."
"When he painted the iceberg in 2004, Evaristti says he was highlighting the fragility of the natural world. The iceberg melted, dissolving his work into the North Atlantic.
That was the first part of a trilogy, the second part of which Evaristti plans to unveil on Mont Blanc in June.
Undeterred by warnings from French authorities, he wants to colour the top of the mountain pink (although he refuses to say how) and declare it an independent state.
« They haven’t given me permission, they say I’m mad, » he said."
