Puis une anthologie de textes donnent la parole à Orlan, aux historiens et critiques d'art pour mieux comprendre l'art charnel. Avec une biographie et la liste de ses expositions. ©Electre 2025
This important monograph traces, for the first time, the entire artistic career of Orlan, one of today's most revolutionary and thought-provoking performance artists. More than 200 works, some previously unpublished, are reproduced here along with commentaries and essays by leading art critics, and a revealing interview with Orlan herself. For anyone interested in currents in contemporary art Orlan: Carnal Art is an essential work, celebrating the coherence, profundity, and humor of this complex and extraordinary artist.
Orlan, born on May 30, 1947 in Saint-Étienne, France, has lived and worked in Paris since 1983. She began her highly-unconventional career at the age of seventeen with a series of staged photographs of her own body, which has become her art "medium," her primary creative voice. She continued to make her body the center of public debate with works and performances staged in the most prestigious art galleries in France. Orlan's art has taken myriad forms: painting, sculpture, poetry, theater, dance, yoga, photography, video. Exploring multiple voices through this rich variety of media, Orlan's work addresses the recurring themes of sexuality, questions of female identity, Catholic symbolism, disfiguration and refiguration, and the dialectic between the virtual and the real.
Individual versus celebrity, artist versus star, modest versus immodest-Orlan is a living oxymoron.
