Hanna Tordai + Joel Danielsson & Louise Öhman
Hourglass
22 August 2025 - ???
Time is not a neutral continuum but a contested place. Time can be manipulated, colonized, and resisted, a place for political imagination. What does it mean to hold onto a moment? How do (geological, biological, social) rhythms change the course of instances? From deep time to a snappy second, from static ruins to imaginative futures, from clocks and calendars to memories.
Hanna Tordai
@hannatordai
Hanna Tordai is a painter, currently in her fifth and last year at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Working as a painter, her works explore the fading and resurfacing of memories, language and the concept of home. The paintings strive to create a pictorial space for unreachable information, using repetition to find a sense of calm in the unknown.

Joel Danielsson & Louise Öhman
danielssonohman.cargo.site
Joel Danielsson & Louise Öhman’s visual practice oscillates between mnemonic recollection and a speculative perspective, spanning across vast time periods and dimensions. They reshape historical events through a special interest in the structure of the image, through its haunting qualities and the transforming, animating or petrifying movements it may perform.
Their work materializes as multi-layered speculative fiction layering past, present and future in conjunctions of video, sound, text, photography and installation.
