A real-life work of art is the inspiration for Kaouther Ben Hania’s 
The Man Who Sold His Skin, one of the 56 films nominated for the 93rd Academy Awards, taking place this weekend.
A tale of civil war, love, and cutting-edge contemporary art, the best international film nominee is a dark satire based on Wim Delvoye’s 2007 work 
Tim, in which the Belgian artist tattooed the back of a man named Tim Steiner, and sold it to a collector. Steiner got a third of the purchase price on the condition he sit in museum galleries during exhibitions of the piece, and that his skin be preserved and framed for the collector after death.
