Anni Laukka (b. 1982, Kokkola, Finland) is a contemporary artist working across sculpture, installation, and light-based practices. Her work explores how material, memory, and lived experience intersect, transforming found and sourced materials into installations and sculptures that carry both physical and documentary presence.
Working with materials such as objects from conflict zones, reclaimed natural debris, and other traces of disrupted environments, Laukka constructs installations that address vulnerability, loss, and the lingering impact of war, with a particular focus on children’s experiences. The interplay between light, material, and shadow defines the experiential core of her practice, shaping perception and emphasizing the temporal and emotional dimensions of the work.
Her work has been exhibited widely in Finland and internationally, including solo exhibitions at the Kymenlaakso Museum, the K.H. Renlund Museum, and the Kuopio Art Museum, as well as participation in Lux Helsinki and selected light art festivals across Europe. Her works are included in the collections of the Turku Art Museum, the Kuopio Art Museum, and the Sir Rod Aldridge Art Collection (UK), among others. She has also realized site-specific projects internationally, including a large-scale installation in Japan at SATFES, created from marine debris.
