"Objects can speak to a viewer, but I feel like when you see a video installation by Hito Steyerl, it talks in such a direct way to you about things that are happening right now, events that are really potent." - Korakrit Arunanondchai

About the artist
Hito Steyerl (b.1966, Germany)
Based in Berlin, Steyerl’s prolific filmmaking and writing occupies a highly discursive position between the fields of art, philosophy and politics, constituting a deep exploration of late capitalism’s social, cultural and financial imaginaries. Her films and lectures have increasingly addressed the presentational context of art, while her writing has circulated widely through publication in both academic and art journals, often online.
