Orlan is 63 years old and is famous because she did a lot of "strange" performances; however, can you define what is strange and what is normal nowadays?
I believe that most of people has a lot of prejudices with things that they do not know and understand, specially with shocking performances like the many who did Orlean.

She really wanted to cause a reaction on people who has prejudices on the different ways of showing art expressions. For me the most amazing living piece of art that she has performed was the surgery she did on her face to look like the Leonardo Da Vinci's Gioconda. This can say a lot but for me is that art is not only paitings, is that we can be art too.

This is why I agree her concept of art because her message was to break the barriers between sexes and genders, generations and artistic practices, to break all the prejudices that people has on art and things that they do no know in general.
