At the same time, she analyses the interpretation of reality and illuminates the socio-political relevance of current discussions. In her first solo exhibition in Austria titled Der Menschheit ist die Kugel bei einem Ohr hinein und beim anderen herausgeflogen [Humanity Had the Bullet Go In Through One Ear and Out Through the Other] (by Karl Kraus, Nachts [At Night], 1918), Steyerl uncovers the structures of political dimensions in everyday and pop culture. Two works are contrasted: The multimedia installation Hell Yeah We Fuck Die (2016) that in its title draws on words that were, according to Billboard magazine, most commonly used in the English-speaking music charts in the 2010s and seem to reflect a kind of crisis mood. In a new video installation (2025), Hito Steyerl analyzes cross-genre developments of artificial intelligence (AI).
