Solo exhibition by visual artist duo Iiris Kaarlehto & Inka Kynkäänniemi at artist-run space Outo olo in Helsinki, Finland.

Iiris and Inka worked at Outo olo during November and December 2020. The working process, stinging, and soreness resulted in a series of works through which the artists approach imageries, techniques, associations and fantasies related to bodily symptoms, care and healing.
