ORLAN - Ceci est mon corps… ceci est mon logiciel
This monograph is derived from a lecture given in 2009 at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. ORLAN takes a retrospective look at her career and brings forward themes explored in her work, such as hybridization and the female body in art.
ORLAN (born 1947) is a French artist who works with sculpture, photography, performance, video, video games, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, robotics, and scientific and medical techniques to question contemporary social phenomena. Her artistic practice opposes natural, social, and political determinism, male supremacy, religion, and cultural segregation. Always mixed with humor, sometimes with parody or even the grotesque, her work questions and challenges pre-established codes.
Postface by Maria Bonnafous-Boucher.
