Harness incorporates several multimedia projects by the Finnish artist AnnaLeena Prykäri: installation Fix Me?, sculpture 52 shades of shame and a performance lecture From a Caretakers archive; to be handled with aftercare. In her cross-disciplinary practice Prykäri researches the interconnections between topics of mental illnesses and BDSM. The foundation for her work is built on psychological, mental and emotional states, where human nature and desires play the key roles.
Her works explore the themes of power roles, desire, happiness and care in various forms. The body is not seen only in its physical sense – translated into artworks as objects and physical installations – but also as a performative tool, and a body as a structural form.
