“Steina: Playback” at Haus der Kunst is the first retrospective in Germany of Steina (b. 1940, Reykjavík, Iceland), a trailblazer of video and media art. Playback” attunes with the programme of Haus der Kunst that listens across generations, where sound and music form a polyphonic backbone to exhibition-making. Steina’s environ­ments unfold like scores: voices fractured into loops, images stretched across rhythmic inter­vals, landscapes resonating in counterpoint. Each work composes itself in relation; shifting, displaced, polyphonic.
