Product Details
Overview
Enter the provocative and boundary-defying practice of ORLAN (born 1947), the French contemporary artist who has used her own body, image, and identity to challenge traditional ideas of beauty, gender, technology, and artistic authorship. This pocket guide traces her development across performance, photography, sculpture, digital media, biotechnology, and immersive installation. Learn what to look for in ORLAN’s use of transformation, theatricality, self-invention, historical references, and critical humor. Biographical insights, revealing anecdotes, a personal portrait, and memorable quotations illuminate the ideas behind a career that has repeatedly questioned how bodies are represented and controlled. A focused examination of one significant work provides a deeper understanding of her methods and cultural impact. Featuring more than 65 full-color reproductions, this engaging volume introduces a fearless artist whose work expands the possibilities of portraiture and continues to provoke debate about identity in the modern world.
