In their artistic work Klein is interested in the queer gaze, and strives to examine humans as creatures connected with their environment, and in constant interaction with other living and non-living agents. To Klein, the use of intersectional feminist thinking and the rethinking of use of power, hierarchies, and working habits is central.
