ORLAN, always written in capital letters, is a pioneering and committed contemporary artist with an international reputation. Often associated with her highly publicized performances, she is an artist who is not bound by any particular material, artistic practice, mode of expression, technique, or technology, whether old or new. ORLAN attempts to address issues that are important to our times by examining social phenomena with a critical distance. She works on the status of the body, particularly that of women, questioning all the traditional, political, social, and religious pressures that affect it. A staunch feminist, she fights in her life and work to break down the walls of ice between genders, sexes, and artistic practices.
