"Normality" focuses on earlier works by Hito Steyerl. In these, the artist examines the various social dynamics and tensions that emerged following the German reunification in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Steyerls video essays and documentaries explore the political interplay between new nationalism and neoliberalism during a time when West German managers were gutting East Germany like a bankrupt company, Berlin’s new centre was developed as a capital and investment project based on wage dumping, and conservative politicians reignited the debate over a dominant national culture.
