In the 90s the artist ORLAN does "Operations - Performance". Art ORLAN questions the modified body has become a place of public debate. Horrified by these scarified, tattooed, painted faces, the Westerners, supposedly " civilized " peoples, who discovered the Others' body ornaments during the first great explorations towards the end of the eighteenth century, associated these so-called primitive peoples to barbarism and an irreducible "savagery". Later on these tegumentary signs were sublimated by designers such as Jean-Paul Gauthier, John Galliano and therefore sported by celebrities. Likewise some American artists in the 1980's (Lyle Tuttle, Sailor Jerry Collins...) launched an "aesthetic" tattoo fashion transforming their bodies into works of art. Today could the Western fashion of tegumentary signs - deprived of their original meaning- be a way to re-invent how Man in traditional and even prehistoric societies came into being as such? In recent archeological discoveries, it would appear that as far back as prehistoric times : (...) Man "humanized" his body with signs of culture, whether by inlaying his flesh, painting his skin, choosing what to wear or doing his hair and body hair....: the one who remained in a state of nature could not be distinguished from the brute." (C. Lévi-Strauss 2001 : 216)

机译：在90年代，艺术家ORLAN进行了“操作-表演”。 Art ORLAN质疑改装后的车身已成为公众辩论的场所。西方人本以为是“文明的”人民，这些被划痕，纹身，彩绘的脸庞感到震惊，他们在18世纪末的第一次重大探索中发现了他人的身体饰品，将这些所谓的原始民族与野蛮和不可还原的“野蛮人”。后来，这些外表标志被让·保罗·高迪耶，约翰·加利亚诺等设计师升华，因此受到名人的喜爱。同样，一些1980年代的美国艺术家（莱尔·塔特尔（Lyle Tuttle），水手杰里·柯林斯（Sailor Jerry Collins ...））也推出了一种“审美”纹身时尚，将他们的身体转变为艺术品。如今，被剥夺其原始含义的西方举足轻重的标志形式是否可以重新发明人类在传统甚至史前社会中的形成方式？在最近的考古发现中，似乎可以追溯到史前时期：（...）男人通过文化标志“人性化”他的身体，无论是镶嵌肉体，粉刷皮肤，选择穿什么衣服或做头发和身体的毛发…………那种保持自然状态的人无法与野蛮人区分开。”（C。Lévi-Strauss2001：216）
