With my master's thesis, I try to point out the depths of banality, lean superficiality of everyday life, where culture is about to topple, as well as changes and globalization in the time we live in and which I believe is primarily caused by hyperpopulation. In my theoretical work, through various fields of anthropology, psychology, psychoanalysis and structuralism, I explore the extent to which the collapse of civilizations is indirectly intentional. We seem to find ourselves again and again in some recurring pattern of self-destructiveness, as if a lack (manque) or unconsciousness interferes, an inability to become aware of actions, lurking in the very core of human ambivalence. In the practical part of the master's thesis, I make a series of pictures with which I try to touch on the topic. With the central motif in the paintings (i.e. masses of people), unconscious psychological scenarios, debauchery of genital images, domination of humanity over things, animals and other problems addressed in theoretical work, I try to conquer the sense of deliberate destructiveness of humanity.
