As lockdowns set in all across EU and all over the world in 2020, the 53rd festival edition of steirischer herbst turned into a semi-fictitious media company called Paranoia TV. Richly illustrated with color images, the catalogue documents the films, series, performances, interventions, give-aways, and online games of the festival, expanding on all the on- and offline content with additional texts by participating artists. Together, they flesh out television’s celebration of reality as well as that reality’s complete absence as the next platform contemporary art can critically embrace.
