Belgian Wim Delvoye works with stereotypes, choosing those most deeply rooted in human culture as a starting point for his provoking work.
Entering the deconsecrated church of San Francesco in Montalcino you spot the queue of people waiting at the salame smelling doorway.
The salame floor
The mummified cadavers
And the ancient operating theatre.

 The Salame floor in Montalcino - dark lines are 'prosciutto', red is salame and the lighter pink is Mortadella.
