What The Man Who Sold His Skin Is About

Sam Ali fled Syria, is stuck in Lebanon, and the woman he loves is in Brussels. With no legal way into Europe, an artist makes him an offer: a Schengen visa tattooed across his back, so that Sam can cross borders as a work of art. He agrees. Now he travels freely, but he hangs on a museum wall, is sold, is insured, and his body is no longer his. Ben Hania drew on a real case in which an artist tattooed a man's back and sold it.
