Dominique Hurth is interested in the framing and reading of objects and events, folding and unfolding in non-linear manner historical narratives. The starting point for new works is often a narrative present in localities or images, that finds itself anew in documents, archives and exhibition displays, questioning the entity of the object in space, as accompanied by the subjective voice of personal narratives. Recording technology, popular culture and science fiction oscillate with art history, modernism or litterature, thus merging fact and fiction, image and caption, form and word.
