초록

This paper closely examines the theory and video essays of Hito Steyerl while also arguing that they are mapped onto three interrelated concepts. The first is post-representation, which signifies a fundamental break from the paradigm of modern visial culture that assumes an image as a transparent and stable representation of the pre-existing world. The second is posttruth,which explains a rupture from the aesthetic and epistemolotical assumptions of traditional documentary, and which underlies Steyerl’s elaboration of the essay film in her videos. The final concept is postinternet, which points to the situation that the expressions of the internet,as well as digital technologies’ techniques and ways of accessing and using information, have not be perceived as being grounded in digitally unique forms and platforms but fundamentally permeated with contemporary subject and world. This situation is what Steyerl has recursively addressed and critiqued in her writings and videos since the 2010s.
