ORLAN
(born 1947) is a major French artist whose work uses performance, photography, video, and sculpture to challenge how power shapes the body. Known for her long-term project The Reincarnation of Saint ORLAN and her use of surgical performance, she critiques beauty standards, gender norms, religious imagery, and the commodification of identity. This tag collects posts on ORLAN’s body art, feminist theory, posthuman themes, and the ethics of the gaze.
