In Conversation: ORLAN and Marina Abramović. In The Phenomenology of Blood in Performance Art

Research output: Book Chapter in Bookpeer-review

Abstract

ORLAN was born in 1947 in France. She is a multimedia visual artist and best known for work that deconstructs the iconography of identity. Over five decades, she has continually given re/birth to herself. Notable artworks include adopting the guise of a saint, shapeshifting her identity through several plastic surgeries and digitally removing her own skin. Infamous for her facial reconstructive surgeries, each allowed transformations to emerge that explored the representation of women from famous paintings and sculptures. She continues to make work that challenges the status of the female body and the political, religious, social and traditional pressures placed upon it.
