This project takes the harness as its central figure because harnesses have been used, with little variation, for thousands of years, to bind labour to a task, an animal to a load, a body to a structure. The shapes here are meant to read as worn rather than new: curved and slackened by the shoulders and necks that once pulled against them.
The title points to a basic fact about such structures. The harness belongs, almost always, to the harnesser, not to the body inside it. The work is offered as a quiet inventory of these rented forms.
The current vocabulary has merely added a term. Agentic harness (the rigging of AI to human ends) extends the lineage rather than breaks it, but the question on the far side of that extension is new: whether the wearer at the end of this lease will still be the human; with a darker one folded behind it: whether large parts of humanity will be made useless in an AI-driven world.
