The 33-year-old artist staged the performance - named 'Eschatology' - on March 6th at a posh museum in capital Riga.
Stomach-churning footage shows Bērziņš pulling on a white forensic suit before approaching two assistants with a scalpel.
He then cuts a chunk of meat from each of their backs without anesthetic and frying it in a large black pan.
He then forces each assistant to stand before dropping the fried flesh into their mouths.

Bemused cops are investigating his controversial show, but officers can't find a crime to charge him with.
The show explores what would happen to humanity if global food stocks ran out.
It suggests that people will resort to cannibalism in the face of extinction.
Comment: What the heck is it with people advocating for the normalization of cannibalism these days!?
