    Sleeping with the fishes - for art, for death

    A death row inmate has consented to let an artist turn his body into fish food.

    Danish-based artist Marco Evaristti... plans to turn Hathorn’s body into a work of art. “My aim is to first deep freeze Gene [Hathorn]’s body and then make fish food out of it. Visitors to my exhibition will be able to feed goldfish with it,” Evaristti told The Art Newspaper.


    It's a death penalty critique, but does partake of a pulp fiction/James Bond villain flair.
