sculpture, epoxy, 160 × 60 cm
purchased in 2025
Over the past two decades, the pace of life has accelerated dramatically. Society is locked into an algorithmic cycle of over-consumption and over-performance. This accelerated pace, which is directly proportional to the speed of computer operations, compels us towards superficial consumption and permanent flexibility. The pressure to perform at work generates purchasing power and a life of excess. Already in 2006, Šárka Mikesková transformed this almost dystopian commentary on the materialism of contemporary humanity into an epoxy sculpture in which the upper body, including the head, is transmuted into a powerful hairdryer.
