Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1983 and raised in Manitoba, Fiona Annis currently lives and works in Montréal, Québec. Her practice includes a wide range of media to explore tensions between concept and material and to select the processes and rhythms that amplify the ideas underpinning each of her projects. This method of working is paired with an ongoing interest in how the past inhabits the present. In this respect, the prefix 're' is in constant use: return, revenant, remediate, and reinvent all reoccur in the writings that describe her various projects. This anachronistic approach has led her to research photography’s uncanny relationship with the past and to explore existing materials, images, and technologies in search of new meanings.
