The Chinese-language press quoted Zhu as saying during an interview on Wednesday that he intended to discuss life and death through his works.
By eating six-month-old human fetuses obtained from abortions, he posed a challenge to traditional ethics, he maintained to the press.
Born in 1970, Zhu said that he wanted to know if we could change our human culture in which we fear death and pursue eternal life.
To create Man-eater, he said he cooked the corpses of babies that had been stolen from a medical school.
Zhu admitted that the meat obtained from the bodies tasted bad, and said he had vomited several times while eating it. However, he said, he had to do so "for art's sake."
Though his works have sparked criticism, Zhu has achieved fame within China's avant-garde art circles.
In another work, Canned human brains, Zhu immersed human brains in glass jars, which also caused a stir.
