Responding to Orlan's definition of her performance surgeries as "carnal art," C. Jill O'Bryan considers how the artist's ever-fluctuating face questions idealized beauty and female identity, and complicates the notion of identity-and its relation to the body-at the boundary dividing art from identity.Body artFrancePerformance artFranceSurgery in artBody artPerformance artSurgery in art.700/.92O'Bryan C.
