Spread across three galleries, the exhibition gathers more than ninety works produced mainly between 1990 and 2000. The curatorial structure avoids chronology in favor of emotional and symbolic constellations. This decision is crucial because Klemm was never interested in linear narratives. His work operated through theatrical accumulation — Catholic iconography colliding with opera, queer eroticism intersecting with kitsch, mythology merging with television aesthetics. The exhibition understands that contradiction was his native language.

The first section, centered on Klemm’s relationship with his mother Rosa and his fascination with divas and opera heroines, reveals the emotional architecture behind his flamboyant persona. Here, melodrama becomes a visual strategy. Portraits, staged compositions, and exaggerated gestures expose an artist deeply invested in the construction of identity through performance. Yet beneath the glittering surface lies something more fragile: the constant awareness of artifice as protection against vulnerability.

The exhibition becomes more unsettling in the rooms dedicated to his digital photomontages inspired by Samson and Delilah. These late works feel unexpectedly prophetic. Their manipulated bodies, synthetic textures, and hyper-staged compositions anticipate the visual logic of contemporary digital culture, where identity is endlessly edited and spectacle replaces intimacy. Klemm embraced artificiality without shame, understanding earlier than most that modern visual culture would abandon authenticity in favor of simulation.

Perhaps the strongest part of the exhibition is the section devoted to the “telecristales,” where masculine bodies appear transformed into luminous icons of desire. These works resist subtlety completely. Their eroticism is frontal, decorative, and excessive, but never empty. Klemm understood beauty as something inseparable from fantasy, narcissism, and mortality. His images oscillate between seduction and collapse.

What makes “Iluminador de mitos” so effective is that it refuses to sanitize Klemm. The exhibition allows his contradictions to remain visible: sophisticated yet camp, intellectual yet vulgar, spiritual yet theatrical. In doing so, it restores the radical dimension of an artist often reduced to caricature. Klemm did not simply inhabit Argentine culture — he staged himself against it, turning his own figure into a mythological device.
