Video Performance

Here's my video. Sorry it has no sound but I didn't like all the chatting & other noise that was present.

Un Chien Andalou

This was by far the weirdest short film I have ever seen. All the scenes didn't seem like they made sense or even went together. At the end of it I will be honest and say that I was totally confused by what I had just seen.
But it made me think that even though it doesn't make sense that's okay, not everything has to make sense. It forced the viewer to see each scene as it was and not connecting as a whole and appreciate this particular technique.

Orlan

Orlan's performances are viewed with a touch of awkwardness and disgust. Most would wonder why she would subject herself to such surgery all in the name of art. But if you think about it you see the exact same thing on show's such as Dr. 90210. How is what she's done and what's being done on that show any different? Is it because those people are not wide awake or 'participating' in the actual surgery? Orlan is de-contextualizing plastic surgery as a whole and saying look there is nothing saying that this is not a type of art form. It is a performance art that is very powerful and should not be overlooked.
