Berlin-based artist, film maker, and author Hito Steyerl (* 1966) highlights social processes evoked by latest technology and develops interdisciplinary works in the focus of fine arts.
At the same time, she analyses the interpretation of reality and illuminates the socio-political relevance of current discussions.
In her first solo exhibition in Vienna titled Der Menschheit ist die Kugel bei einem Ohr hinein und beim anderen herausgeflogen [Humanity Had the Bullet Go In Through One Ear and Out Through the Other] (by Karl Kraus, Nachts [At Night], 1918), Steyerl uncovers the structures of political dimensions in everyday and pop culture.
