ORLAN
ORLAN, is one of the greatest French artists recognized internationally. She is not tied to any one material, technology or artistic practice. She uses sculpture, photography, performance, video, 3D, video games, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and robotics as well as scientific and medical techniques such as surgery and biotechnology to question the social phenomena of our time. She confronts biological, social and political determinism, any form of domination, male supremacy, religion, cultural segregation, racism... Always mixed with humor, sometimes parody or even grotesque, her work questions the phenomena of society and challenges the pre-established codes. ORLAN has been honored with several medals and prizes. Her works are exhibited in the best art centers and she is part of the collections of the ACMA, the MoMa and the Centre Georges Pompidou.
