| book description |

The Art of Transformation Using her own body as raw material for her artistic practice, French artist ORLAN deconstructs the traditional iconography of the feminine. In the 1990s, ORLAN caused a sensation with surgical operations performed on her body, but it was as early as 1964, at the age of 17, that she gave birth to her artistic self. Since then, she has continuously recreated herself and keenly explored the concept of identity. In her â€œcarnal art,â€ the body becomes both subject and object. This publication traverses the six decades of ORLANâ€™s oeuvre, revisiting her early performances in particular. One of her most recent creations is the ORLAN-OÃDE robot, and thanks to an augmented reality app, ORLAN avatars come to life and emerge from this richly illustrated volume. The political status of the body is made evident through all of her works: in 1989 she transformed Gustave Courbetâ€™s famous painting Lâ€™origine du monde into Lâ€™origine de la guerre by replacing the vulva with the phallus. The statement has not lost any of its topicality.
