The photo and video based works of Anne-Renée Hotte inhabit the exhibition space in a highly sensitive way, pushing towards a logic of installation. Through large-format video projections or photographs presented as sculptural objects, the artist never ceases to amaze us in how she stages her works.
Through the cohabitation of landscape and human figures, Anne-Renée Hotte questions the dualities and symbiosis between individuality and group belonging. Her work evokes the idea of a necessarily imperfect community evolving at the rate of a world where the notions of nature and culture participate in a logic of the decentering of the narrative, a shift of visions. Thus, these photographic series present an oscillation between a personal state of introspection and belonging to a larger world, revealing certain paradoxes of human life.
A graduate in photography at Concordia University (2010), Anne-Renée Hotte completed her master’s degree in visual and media arts at the Université du Québec à Montréal in 2015. Her work has been presented in several locations abroad and in Quebec, including the Galerie Artem (Quimper, France), the Gallery of the University of Indonesia (Jakarta), Volta NY (New York, United States), Caravansérail (Rimouski), the FOFA Gallery (Montreal) and the Galerie Trois Points (Montréal). In 2013, she created a public artwork for the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal, which will be exhibited throughout the construction of the new center.
