The artwork, titled “Drill,” was created by artist Hito Steyerl in 2019. It is part of the Conceptual Art movement and belongs to the installation genre.
The artwork features a darkened room with three large, illuminated screens, each projecting scenes that appear to involve industrial or workshop settings, possibly showing the process of drilling or other mechanical activities. The screens are the focal point of the installation, and they are positioned side by side, presenting a continuous, panoramic view. The floor beneath the screens is outlined with illuminated patterns, suggesting a blueprint or a structured layout, adding to the conceptual nature of the installation. This immersive environment combines visual, spatial, and thematic elements, typical of Steyerl’s work, to engage the observer in an intricate examination of the depicted activities and their broader implications.
