Harris's films and live performances extend her practice into duration and embodiment, bringing her signature symbols of needles, nails, and stockings into collaboration with directors, performers, musicians, and costume designers. These works engage audiences across cinema, stage, and gallery, expanding the reach of her feminist inquiry.
Her most recent major project is Needle Dance, a conceptual art film and live performance work exploring fate, feminism, and human connection.
