Orlan


Her earlier feminist work was very comical to me. I always appreciate when someone gets their point across in an atypical manner.

Her later performance art pieces of her having plastic surgery while wide awake is certainly no for the squeamish. In a male dominated field i definitely support her ability to maintain longevity the years and always stay current and relevant. She is always growing, developing and perfecting her craft. Some of her most recent works include graphic art pieces where in which she portrays her self as many different nationalities. The above is just a taste. If you're interest in her plastic surgery performance piece take a look see!

If you can get past the gore. It's a very powerful piece. She feels no pain whatsoever so don't feel too bad for her.
