Un cop d’ull (in Catalan) refers to un coup d’œil (in French), literally an eye’s knock, a stroke of the eye.

Three rolls of black and white film, a prism and filters.

In Un cop d’ull Dominique Hurth offers a wander at the edges of the 19th and 20th centuries, reading three images and offering a glimpse at the capture of a created object.

The gaze threads from a smile, to an eye, towards a voice, in the backdrop of representation and mechanical reproduction. The subjective, non-linear, investigation takes places only in the format of the publication, in a free movement between text, image and object, in the manipulation by the reader of those three elements as echos for the three caracters moving within the margins.
