Anni Laukka is an artist from Finland who combines the play of light and darkness with elaborate sculptural pieces to produce mesmerizing shadow artwork. She skillfully constructs her compositions by placing objects in such a way that when light is projected onto them, they cast shadows which form intricate silhouettes and detailed scenes. It’s not just about the objects she uses, but also about the precise arrangement and the angle of the light that helps her create these magical pieces of art. Each piece is an immersive experience that invites viewers to look closer and discover the hidden meaning in the shadows. An example of that is Anni’s “Being Social” installation, where she used icons from social media platforms to produce scenes where her shadow figures are interacting with their phones and neglecting the world around them. Anni Laukka is a truly remarkable artist who has skillfully blended the influences of traditional shadow puppetry and contemporary art forms to develop her unique and distinctive artistic expression.
