Artists in conversation
Hito Steyerl
Steyerl similarly uses video installation and essay film to interrogate systems of power, media representation, and the politics of imagery in networked digital culture. Both artists construct immersive environments where fiction and documentary collapse into self referential critical structures.

Her use of custom digital environments resonates with Beloufa's networked installation strategies.

Both practitioners embed sculptural elements within immersive video environments to destabilize narrative coherence.
