All about my life, all about my art

Description

"ORLAN has been writing every night since she was a teenager, and in this autobiography she tells us all about her personal journey, from her birth in Saint-Étienne in a working-class environment to her loves, setbacks, and traumas, to her life as an artist on the French and international scene, where she has rubbed shoulders with some of the most important figures. ORLAN is always written in capital letters. She is a pioneering artist with an international reputation. Her performances and other works are not bound by any one material, artistic practice, way of saying, technique or technology, old or new. ORLAN says things that are very important for our time, questioning social phenomena with a critical distance. ORLAN uses sculpture, photography, performance, video, 3D, video games, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, robotics (she has created a multilingual robot in her image that answers questions from the public with her voice), holograms, the metaverse and scientific and medical techniques such as surgery and biotechnology..." --Publisher's website (accessed 11/13/2024).
