Anna Rokka: Night Wind, HAM gallery 24.1.–9.3.2025
In her exhibition at HAM gallery, Anna Rokka moves through the complex running of time and material. In her art, she creates spaces where fragments come together in new forms.

By sorting and transforming fragments, the artist Anna Rokka moves methodically forward, constantly exploring. In her work, where time is not just a linear process but a place of depth, Rokka explores the history of materials. Materials carry memories beyond our immediate understanding. The artist acts as a filter for the flow of the present and history.
Rokka reflects on the formation of our complex thought patterns, tied to which phase of the multifaceted information sphere we find ourselves in.
The exhibition consists of art installations, created using various techniques and materials like LCD screens, bowling balls and break lights.
Rokka observes architectural dimensions and shapes the artwork in direct relation to the human body’s presence and senses. The artistic approach is characterized by an experimental attitude; the interplay between chaos, impulsivity, and sensory exploration. Her key tools are the reuse and retelling of various objects: those that have been left behind, found, lost, abandoned…

I sin utställning på HAM galleriet strävar Emma Luukkala efter att låta helg och vardag överlappa. Livet strömmar förbi i form av oändliga högar av föremål och att-göra-listor, och mitt i allt kaoset får man en känsla av klart lysande starka och meningsfulla stunder.
