How far will the race for the craziest NFT go? David Cronenberg is not far from taking the lead with his new project… and no, unfortunately for fans of the Canadian horror film master, it is not a feature film.

On the other hand, crypto and NFT enthusiasts will no doubt be delighted to learn that the filmmaker has partnered with a non-fungible token sales platform, SuperRare, to offer… his kidney stones!

What will buyers on the auction site get when they acquire this NFT?

Simply a digital copy, with proof of "ownership", of a photo of the

Crash

director's kidney stones , which he has kept for years.

"I think this photo is very beautiful, in a kind of weird way,"

David Cronenberg told

Newsweek .

Not awful

To those who seem horrified by this image, which is actually a bit bizarre, David Cronenberg has an answer, and no, it's not to compete with certain influencers who sell their bath water after use.

“What happens inside a body is not horrible, it's fantastic and very beautiful.

My body put in a lot of effort to create these amazing shapes,” he added.

Another detail that should interest those who are passionate about the director's career: this artistic work (entitled

Kidney Stones and Inner Beauty

)

is

an implicit reference to his next film,

Crimes of the Future

.

Viggo Mortensen embodies an artist whose performances consist of surgically removing his own organs in public.

This is not the first time that David Cronenberg has entered the world of NFTs, since he had already sold (for the equivalent of 90,000 dollars) in this form a short film entitled

The Death of David Cronenberg

, where he confronted his own corpse.

A whole universe!
