This yummy mummy is made out of food from McDonald's

Ben Campbell describes himself as "some kind of artist from west Texas." His most recent work centers on the connection between ancient Egypt and the modern world. Apparently that translates to building a life-size mummy using $200 worth of food from McDonald's. Campbell said ancient Egyptians were obsessed with achieving immortality through customs such as mummification and constructing pyramids, and modern society also strives to do so by pursuing celebrity and constructing corporations, and thus Hamburger Mummy is so, like, this statement, man, about corporate society and stuff.

Is this is a statement or artistic masturbation?
