Orlan: "le tiers instruit"


Orlan is indeed an interesting artist. Amazing of how she making plastic surgery into an art piece. Broadcasting the surgery and reciting literature writings. Her work is indeed amazing. I love how she used her portraits of herself into other humanistic forms. I may not be too keen of some of her more powerful works of being more organic, but still. I admire how she wanted a complex surgery to make herself a sculpture with the horns and be able to do abstract sculptures, paintings, and vocal pieces.

Her book is quoting references to transformation and becoming something new. This act is occuring while she undergoing surgery.
