Fascination
Fascinated by the fat ending up in sewers, which binds together to form gigantic fatbergs, which may even amount to the size of a double decker bus, Arne has founded the Fatberg together with Mike Thompson. The Fatberg is a floating island composed of fat, currently being constructed at the NDSM werf in Amsterdam.
Fat simply is
Fatberg is focused on the construction and growth of a floating island of fat. Fat performs a unique and vital function as an energy reserve, stored within the body for times of scarcity. And yet, from a western perspective, fat has lost this function. It is stored and stored some more, but rarely used for its original purpose. Fat simply is.
