Carnal Art, Orlan’s Refacing

Artist/Author: C. Jill O'Bryan | Reference: P0732 | ISBN: 0-8166-4323-7 | Type: Publication

Considers how the artist’s ever-fluctuating reconstructions of her face question idealized beauty and female identity, persuasively arguing that Orlan’s surgically reinvented face succeeds in both reinforcing and breaking apart corporeal subjectivity and representation.
