Orlan


Orlan (born 30 May 1947 in Saint-Étienne) is a French contemporary artist. She is involved in photography, installation, sculpture, video art, performance and others.

Her biography is not widely known. In the early 1960s she adopted an artistic nickname. Her work became popular in the 1970s. Since 1990, she has been working on a project called The Reincarnation of St Orlan. The project was a series of performance shows during which Orlan's face was metamorphosed by plastic surgery. The artist made her body sculptural material. Up until now, she has made plastic surgery the centerpiece of artistic expression. Each of the operations was documented photographically, and since 1993 the live broadcast and live performance have been seen in art galleries. Her art was defined by Orlan, the term carnal.
