Hito Steyerl and Esther Schipper, Berlin/Paris/Seoul and Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York

SAM presents the first Southeast Asia exhibition of Hito Steyerl’s acclaimed video installation Factory of the Sun. In this immersive environmental artwork, which debuted at the 2015 German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, Steyerl investigates the circulation of images and data in their purest form: light. Drawing on a diverse range of references — documentary film, cable news, video games, and internet dance videos — Factory of the Sun tells the surreal story of workers whose forced moves in a motion capture studio are turned into artificial sunshine.

Venue: SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark
