Orlan directed a number of videos in which she is getting surgery. If you watch these videos, you will quickly notice that these are not regular operations. Orlan is awake during the whole process. She wears costumes and reads from Michel Serres, "Le Tiers-Instruit".
When asked why she stages her surgeries, this was her response:
"The operating room would be my artist studio and its aesthetics had to be transformed to change this place in colorful and humorous ways.
I wanted to make a film, videos and photos from these surgical performances.
Each operation was designed from of a psychoanalytic text, literary, philosophical as La Robe by Eugenie Lemoine-Luccioni, or Le Tiers Instruit by Michel Serres. "
