It it the work done by Piero Manzoni in December 1961. He wrote the letter to his friend Ben Vautier: I should like all artists to sell their fingerprints, or else stage competitions to see who can draw the longest line or sell their shit in tins. The fingerprint is the only sign of the personality that can be accepted: if collectors want something intimate, really personal to the artist, there's the artist's own shit, that is really his.
In this example we see how art is rasing the objection to consumerism, artist and as producer, packaging, marketing, consuming, reprocessing, packaging.
Artist was influenced by the fact of body substance. One of another his works were filled balloons by himself.
