The artist Orlan has played a pioneering role in the history of performance art, feminist art, and new technologies. By stepping outside the frame, she made her own body the raw material of her art. This book is published with an eponymous exhibition in Toulouse which examines how Orlan has used sculpture and the plasticity of the body to question social phenomena. Her body of work encompasses not only sculpture but also photography, video, performance, video games, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and robotics. The book highlights the critical issues at stake in Orlan’s practice, which has always been sensitive to the periods in which it was produced.
