From Free net encyclopedia
Zhu Yu is a performance artist living in Beijing. His work concerns the relationship between social and moral codes. His most famous piece called "Eating People" performed in a Shanghai arts festival in 2000, consisting of a series of photos of him cooking and eating a real human fetus caused a stir in China and has given him worldwide notoriety. In regards to this, Zhu Yu stated: "No religion forbids cannibalism. Nor can I find any law which prevents us from eating people. I took advantage of the space between morality and the law and based my work on it."[1]
