‘ORLAN’ WITH HIS EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCES WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIAL SEXUALITY IN ART

Abstract

The art of Performance, which attracted attention with its interdisciplines characteristics in the second half of the 20th century and was started to be accepted as a style in its own right in 1970s, has come to order under the various headings such as ‘Body Art’, ‘Happening’ and ‘Action’; and it has been applied within the different movements such as ‘Fluxus’, ‘Feminist Art’ and ‘Land Art’. (Antmen, 2008:219).

It is possible to see the psychoanalysis tecniques, which tries to transform the indivudals into the harmonical individuals with the society by debugging them from emotional extremities, especially katharsisi in the activities of the body artists. Body artists perform their activities by betraying the shock element and they aim to have the viewers to think again on the certain concepts. ‘The body’, which is tried to be built up perfectly in the consumption culture, is exposed to the activities that include violence such as  burning, cutting and hitting in the performances of the body artists.

Orlan has a different place in the ‘Body Art’ than the other artists. In her performances, which are carried out by local anaesthetic, Orlan, shapes out her body and especially her face with a sequence of aesthetic operations in order to criticize the establishment of the female subject in the modern society.

The body in the works of Orlan has been opened to a social argument by being formed completely under the care of the artist by losing its characteristic of inalterableness or convertibility in accordance with the accepted style.

Orlan’s performances, in which the body is used as a tool of narration, are questioning the concepts such as individual rights, self-control, freedom limits, life-art, audience-artist while they are defining the woman body, beauty, identity and pain concept again.

Social sexuality and violence tendency against to the body, which are going to be dealt with the Orlan’s art, compose the main lines of the work.
