“Normality” opens at the Heidelberger Kunstverein (HKDV), showcasing early works by iconic and influential German artist Hito Steyerl. Curator Søren Grammel posits that the thorny political topics tackled by Steyerl in featured ’90s video works Babenhausen (1997) and The Empty Centre (1998) were “breeding grounds for the rise of right-wing movements and the increase in far-right violence” that now shape German politics and discourse (image: Is the Museum a Battlefield?, 2013).
