„Lucid Recollections / Transparent appearances“ – photographs by Anne Mason-Hoerter

Photo exhibition in the Green Room of the greenhouses

The photo exhibition “Lucid Recollections” by Canadian artist Anne Mason-Hoerter invites us to reflect on how memories develop and influence our emotional connection to nature.

“In my work, I combine – months later – up to hundret single images to create a final unique image relying on my memory of that plant. This process, I believe, explores the disortion of memory, as I am intrigued by the complex nature of memory retrieval.” Anne Mason-Hoerter

Hoerter’s special technique consists of dissecting plants and superimposing their photographed components. Using up to 100 individual photos, she creates a mosaic that reflects the distortion of memory as well as the breathtaking beauty and fragility of nature. Her works touch on important questions: Will our visual memories become even more important in a rapidly changing world? Can we rely on the accuracy of these memories that shape our understanding of nature?
