Orlan, Carnal Art (2001) (Surgery Art) (DVDrip)

Quote:

Orlan is a performance artist. She works on the status of the body in contemporary society and programs her own mutation by modifying her body and her image. Thanks to artistic and technological media, she uses cosmetic surgery and digital images in new ways.

Orlan, a multimedia artist, makes use of video, digital photography, and surgery. Her body has become the "development and production site" for her artistic operations, inspired by baroque, Greco-Latin, and Pre-Columbian iconography.

Her work chokes the classical concepts of identity and the taboos around the myths of femininity, anxiety at opening up one's body, and the limits of art in the complexity of the philosophical, religious, and psychoanalytical models.

Surgery is used to repair or embellish the human body without anybody becoming indignant about it. Far from it - it is seen as a sign that it is now part of the free market economy which defines the standards of beauty.

Orlan decided to use surgery in a very different way. For the sake of Art. With her eyes wide open, her voice resolute, and her mind fully conscious, during the operation, her body is connected to a variety of interactive transmission networks - a combination of cybernetics and biology.

This extremely risky stylistic exercise is a grandiose program of mutation that the artist carries out on her own body in the operating theater which is turned into an artist's workshop for the occasion.This film is based on the evolution, the revolution of her morphology, over the course of her performances. It reveals the original sensations behind the artist's thoughts.

Rare nice documentary about my beloved Orlan. English subbed (when they talk french).

Note to everyone, this is quite important, and its not a admin-bitch but it might come of like that, so bare with me

I CAN NOT FIX ANYTHING IF YOU DO NOT TELL ME

Told you :lol:

There's a site development section that is hardly ever used. I don't read every post so can't respond unless you actually tell me of any problems. This is the same reason why its better to pm a mod than expect them to read your posts. Of course hhah is a select genre film site so there's more chance members read every post, but this is applicable to every site, you need to personally contact people.

Spuddy, you're 100% right :wacky:

Basically, if I really cared I would indeed have sent you a PM.

But it was just a rant caused by overheating of my circuits... here in Venice is hot, and wet... bear with me :lol:

So you can safely ignore my whining outside official channels. Editing back the titles is not a big problem after all :mrgreen:

I fixed it anyway, but i didn't even know i'd left that line in, i'd replaced it before but must have replaced the wrong cvs version with an older copy :lol:

official channels? maybe we need irc again :lol:

Some basic forensics reveal:

a) The use of all caps.
b) The use of boldface.
c) The use of the color red for emphasis on the word Anything.

If it walks like an admin-bitch, and it talks like an admin-bitch, ...
