Many of the works by Orlan are not only shocking, but different from anything else in art. From her first works posing nude with manequins I thought she was a weirdo, but to me the most extreme of all her works is the plastic surgery she had to put horns on her head. Why would she want horns anyway? To look like...what? To me, it is a little extreme to transform your body as a piece of art, and to go under the knife in a life-threatening procedure to look like an animal with horns on your head. However, if its going to keep her top on, I think she's better off these days doing things of that nature than still to be posing with her boobs out when shes like 60.
