Leonardo’s Submarine

The film is a commentary on the intersection of art and militarization, spotlighting the actions of a major weapons company that has co-opted the legacy of Leonardo da Vinci. Steyerl's approach combines artistic expression with a critique of contemporary capitalism and its implications for culture and history.

As a piece of media, Leonardo’s Submarine falls within the genre of documentary art. It reflects the ethos of the 21st century, making it relevant for collectors interested in modern artistic discourse and socio-political commentary. Steyerl’s work often blurs the lines between documentary and art, making this film a thought-provoking exploration of its themes.
