Dominique Hurth
Researcher Fine Art
01.01.10 – 31.01.12
Through drawings, objects, texts and installations, Dominique Hurth’s practice deals with the mechanisms of memory and history, how it is constructed and narrated. The starting-point for new artistic research is often a document, which is subsequently re-manifested via archiving, translation, quotation, re-enactment or reconstruction. She questions the shifts from narrative to cultural memory, looks at unresolved historical figures and events, and observes – from diverse starting-points – the gaps and dislocations of references that occur from original to copy.
