Hito Steyerl: I Will Survive

More about the book

A massive retrospective on the multimedia image critique of Hito Steyerl, influential artist and author. Over the past 30 years, Steyerl has tracked the ways images have mutated—from analogue images and their montage possibilities to the fluidity of digital images—and the implications these changes have had for representing wars, genocides, and the flow of capital. "We are no longer dealing with the virtual but with a confusing and possibly alien concreteness that we are only beginning to understand," writes Brian Kuan Wood about the digital visual worlds presented by the artist. This nearly 500-page book offers a substantial overview of Steyerl's work, examining multimedia installations and film projects from the past decade alongside earlier works, all united by her relentless interrogation of the politics of the image.
