She notably designed costumes for the choreographer Carolyn Carlson, colors and photography for the latest films of artist Alejandro Jodorowsky, her husband, with whom she collaborates on their common work, pascALEjandro.

ORLAN

creates sculptures, photographs, performances, videos, videogames, and augmented reality, using scientific and medical technics like surgery and biogenetic. Those are only mediums for her; the idea prevails and the materiality pursues. ORLAN makes her own body the medium, the raw material, and the visual support of her work. It takes place as the “public debate.” She is a major figure of body art and of “carnal art,” as she defined it in her 1989 manifesto. Her commitment and her liberty are an integral part of her work. She defends innovative, interrogative and subversive, positions throughout her work. ORLAN constantly and radically changes the data, which disrupts conventions and “ready-made thinking.” She is opposed to natural determinism, in all forms of social and political domination, male supremacy, religion, cultural segregation and racism, etc. Always mixed with humor, often parodic or even grotesque, her provocative artworks can shock because she shakes up the pre-established codes. ORLAN won the E-reputation award, designating the most observed and followed artist on the Web.

After the Crisis
Contemporary States of Photography

Softcover, 256 pages

PDF, 256 pages

After the Crisis offers a platform for discussions between some of today’s leading artists, writers, theorists, curators, and historians aimed at questioning the very status of photography today. Contributors come from the realms of critical theory, fiction,  performance art, fashion photography, and museums, as well as film and design, and their conversations bring together history and the contemporary. Comparing the current situation of photographic images with the crisis experienced by representation at the time of the birth of photography, they set our relationship with photographic images in the digital era in perspective. Through these discussions, we come to sense the existential burden of being surrounded by images, while also beginning to grasp the historical depth of a questioning of images that started long before the current generation and engages with crucial political and cultural issues of our time.
