The skin of the other

A movie of YVES MORA

​

Synopsis 

​

For Jef and Kostek, tattoo artists, tattoo artists, tattooing is much more than letting inked needles crisscross the body. The following in their travels, we enter the intimacy of tattoo sessions, which with them are full of listening, exchanges and emotions. They create a bridge between the world of art and daily life, reinventing relationships with others, relationships with the body and between bodies. Thus, they spread across the world a singular fresco, from skin to skin, smugglers of dreams and freedoms. The film follows the traces of a nomadic work of art engraved on the skin, an intensely human discovery.
