Ihren eigenen Körper als Rohmaterial einsetzend, dekonstruiertdie französische Künstlerin ORLAN die traditionelleIkonografie des Weiblichen. In den 1990er-Jahren erregteORLAN mit den an ihrem Körper vorgenommenen chirurgischenOperations-Performances großes Aufsehen. IhrFrühwerk ist weniger bekannt: Bereits 1964, mit 17 Jahren,gebiert sie ihr künstlerisches Selbst. Seitdem erschafft siesich immer wieder neu. Ihr Körper wird zugleich Subjektund Objekt, ironisch und provokativ spielt sie mit Identität.Diese Publikation fächert die gesamten sechs Jahrzehntevon ORLANs Werk auf und beleuchtet besonders ihrefrühen Performances. Zu ihren jüngsten Neuerschaffungengehört der Roboter ORLAN-OÏDE, und mit Hilfe einerAugmented Reality App steigen gar ORLAN-Avatare ausdem farbenprächtigen Buch heraus und werden lebendig.Dass der Körper politisch ist, zeigt sich in all ihren Arbeiten:1989 verwandelt sie Gustave Courbets Bild L'originedu monde in L'origine de la guerre, indem sie die Vulvadurch den Phallus ersetzt. Das Statement büßt nicht anAktualität ein.Die französische Künstlerin ORLAN (*1947, Saint-Étienne) ist eine der bedeutendsten Vertreterinnen der Feministischen Avantgarde, der Performance-Kunst und Begründerin L'Art Charnel (der Fleischeskunst). ORLAN setzt seit sechs Jahrzehnten ihren eigenen Körper als künstlerisches Material ein. Sie lebt und arbeitet in Paris.
