Spotlight: Hito Steyerl

For our Spotlight this week we present Hito Steyerl's SocialSim, 2020.

 

SocialSim, 2020, is a site-specific video installation that premiered at K21 in Düsseldorf and now on view at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, through July 5.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The installation includes an immersive projected live simulation—Dancing Mania in Düsseldorf and Rebellion in Paris—and a video presented in two adjacent darkened rooms divided by a wall, also used as a projection surface. In both rooms the floor is covered with reflective black vinyl that mirrors the projections.⁠⁠
