Following her artist residency and two trips to the Eastern
Rif in 2024, Dominique Hurth has developed a new installation accompanied by a
publication conceived
for L'appartement 22 in Rabat.
This installation, which embodies both the ecological and historical dimensions of Dominique Hurth's work, is the artist's first chapter on the history and repercussions of the war in the Rif. The walls of the hut also echo the bamboo twins that will be installed in the long term in the heights of the Rif for the Rif Résidences project - a sculpture, shelter and artist's studio in one. Both the publication and the sculpture follow a process of linguistic, material and visual research - asking questions and imposing them on others.
