French artist Orlan uses plastic surgery as her medium. Since 1990, she has undergone a series of choreographed surgical “performances”. Her intention is not to become “beautiful” but rather to suggest that the “objective (beauty) is unattainable and the process horrifying.”
In partnership with the Program in Comparative Literature and the Department of English Language & Literature.
