In her cross disciplinary practise AnnaLeena Prykäri research the interconnections between topics of mental illnesses and BDSM. She talks about body of control, power roles, desire, happiness and care in various forms. Meaning not only a physical body — as it is translated into art works in formats of objects and physical installations — also as a psychical body as a performative tool, and a body as a structural form.
She collects lived experiences and emotions to her archive. Building, asking, performing and translating. Singularly cross dressing the intellectual to emotional and vice verse. Cross dressing languages, images, rooms and identities.
The foundation for her work is build on psychological, mental and emotional states, where humanity, human nature, emotional states and desires play the key roles. To awake questions from the main- and sub topics are essential part of her work.
