The Tower (2016)
Steyerl’s immersive installation focuses on the making of the video game "Skyscraper: Stairway to Chaos" by the Ukrainian company Ace3D, based on Saddam Hussein’s unrealised plans to reconstruct the Tower of Babel in Babylon, the ancient capital that he began rebuilding in the 1980s.
