Hito Steyerl was born in Munich and lives and works in Berlin where she is a filmmaker, visual artist, writer, and innovator of the essay documentary. Her 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. Recent solo exhibitions include A Sea of Data, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, Seoul (2022); I Will Survive, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (2022); This Is the Future, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto (2020); and Power Plants, Serpentine Galleries, London (2019). Group exhibitions include Surrounds, Museum of Modern Art, New York (2020); May You Live in Interesting Times, 58th Venice Biennale (2019); and War Games, Kunstmuseum Basel (2018).
