Reading and Artist Talk
Dominique Hurth’s exhibition foreword (language in the darkness of the world through inverse images) formed the backdrop and setting for a reading by the artist on images and their captions.
Focusing on the strobe-like effect of images, pausing during the act of reading and seeing the images while emerging into them, Hurth proposed a subjective narration between histories of technology, fiction, perception and exhibition, in which Auguste Rodin’s wife met Wernher von Braun carrying a V-2 rocket on his shoulder like a boom box or Georges Méliès lunar landscapes.
