Last chance: Rowena Harris’ Third Hand Prosthesis at OBJECT / A

The Third Hand Prosthesis is a new body of work by the London-based artist Rowena Harris. Using the body as a subject, Harris sees the ‘third hand’ as being that part of the body that is removed from the corporeal whole – seen, for example, when the amateur phone photographer’s thumb appears, by accident, within the frame of the photograph, thereby making a visual amputation. The physical body, split into parts, encourages each fragment to become an autonomous thing, able to exist apart from the corporeal whole. Incorporating installation, sculpture and audio, Harris’s work investigates the blurry line between the virtual and the real, the physical and the digital, bound to our own experiences as humans.
