Thoughts in Circles

While in her previous projects Kleinhamplová mapped nooks of unclear desire, the notion of her current work is more concrete. The subject of her analysis is homo consumericus and the perverse instinct he embodies. Situations filled with the displaced, yet omnipresent boisterousness of consumerism, reveal its traumatic essence through self-portraits and simple installations.

Thoughts in Circles
The exhibition Late Intimacy responds to the pressure to disclose private matters that intimacy currently faces. This pressure is evident in both the mass media and social networks, which are programmed to exploit our need for social acceptance and reward, and is also present in the hidden monitoring and analysis of our behavior in physical and digital space. We are increasingly aware that the ultimate goal of this pressure is to obtain material that can be exploited for commercial or political gain.
