Hito Steyerl is an artist, filmmaker, writer, and professor of New Media Art at the Berlin University of the Arts. Her production investigates the circulation of digital images and information in contemporary times, reflecting critically on the globalized world and its perversities. With Duty Free Art: Art in the Age of Planetary Civil War (Verso, 2017), Steyerl addresses, in fifteen chapters, fundamental questions that orbit the function of art and its contradictions in the 21st century. The title of the book evidences our situation: “Duty Free” is the tax-free paradise of airports and also a release from a given duty of art, be it political, moral, social or other.
