Anne Mason-Hoerter, a Canadian photographer, delves into the intriguing effects of time on our memory. Her unique approach involves capturing images of botanical or food items over a specific time period, resulting in a multitude of individual photos. She then weaves these images together, weeks later, recreating the subject solely from her memory. Anne's reliance on her recollection to convey the unique essence of the food or botanical item that has stayed with her over time is a fascinating journey into the human mind.

As a photography student at the Ontario College of Art, Anne was drawn to extreme photographic manipulation techniques from an early stage. To this day, she continues to explore unconventional ways of presenting food and botanical subject matter. Many have described her images as hovering between reality and surrealism.

She is currently working on a long-term environmental project that seeks to inspire new thinking about the complexities of plants and calls into question our reliance on memory as a safeguard for extinct botanical species, while also emphasizing the need for reliable memories.

Anne's work has been displayed at the James Beard Foundation Awards in New York, and she has been recognised twice with the Award of Merit from the Canadian AIDS Society's annual photography fundraising exhibition for her contributions to raising essential funds through her art.

Her photography has been featured in publications such as Geo Wissen, Food For Your Eyes, Aesthetica, Food Inspiration Magazine, and 212 magazine.

Anne has been a member of the Professional Association of Freelance Photographers and Film Creators (BFF) Germany since 2023.
