Orlan: Nouveau Visage
VOIR (Montréal edition), Sept. 18, 1997
This article catalogues Orlan's artistic development while also interviewing her about how she reads the reactions she often fields in regards to her work. While many feminists have challenged Orlan as merely reifying Western stereotypes of beauty through the use of plastic surgery, the artist sees herself as an activist in her desire to uncover where these standards of beauty actually come from.
