"There are no tyrannies that would not try to limit art, because they can see the power of art. Art can tell the world things that cannot be shared otherwise. It is art that conveys feelings."

 - Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine

Performance

Location: I.C.C., Antwerp, Belgium. 12 May 1980

ORLAN is now known as the first artist who was manipulating her own body as art. In the aftermath of the ICC there was a major exhibition in which she also did one of her 'mesurages', where she measured the spaces with her ​​own body literally and physically as scale.
