Abstract

When performing surgery on her body, Orlan destabilizes the conventional image attached to the body. Like Duchamp caused strangeness to rearrange everyday objects, moving them from their seats conventional, Orlan wants to transform its operations plastic, or rather, their surgeries, in works of art and conducts its work from the carnal art, which fits in meat. If the body to the carnal art becomes a work and transcends the physical limits to metamorphose itself into an object of art - "I gave my body to art," said Orlan – What can we do whith body?
