He places strong emphasis on the presentation of his work and thus creates original installations and specific environments. He works with both static, as well as moving images, with photograph, new technologies or the simulation thereof, with objects and performances, and primarily with the overall architecture of an exhibition. His work is characteristic for emphasizing detail, perfection and cleanliness almost to the point of being sterile. In his exhibition projects he often gets the viewers and visitors involved, as well as performers, including himself, and he evokes controlled or planned situations relating to the given project. He utilizes principles from the world of company teambuilding, coaching, visionary projects and other systems or organizations, offering a recipe for how to change the world, make our lives better, increase productivity and be successful, and primarily gain control over things. He adopts these processes and strategies in an effort to find their archetypal model, which is also related to the issue of the relationship between man and his\/her surrounding world, nature and landscape. In a subversive way Jansa systematically processes notions such as that of a prophet, revolution or being a visionary. He comments it in the following way: \u201cWe are taking control over the freely originating. We are developing landscape and modifying it. We are rotating the planet and keeping the world going.\u201d\r\nThese topics started to appear in his work already while studying at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague from where he graduated under the guidance of Federico D\u00edaz and David Ko\u0159\u00ednek. His studies in the Studio of Supermedia certainly influenced his approach and reflection in the context of contemporary art and questions relating to it including the role art can play today, the position an artist has in society, and whether he\/she has the possibility to influence or even transform it. As was already insinuated, Jakub Jansa views the mentioned topics from a distance, which is manifested in his work together with a certain dose of irony and humour, which the artist works with intentionally. \r\nOne of the first works where he plays this game of uncertainty of a concealed absurdity is&nbsp;<i>Engstligenalp&nbsp;<\/i>(2014). It is a concept of utopian \u201clandscape-making\u201d project, the goal of which is to create a cave complex on a Swiss plateau artificially with the help of a precisely described device. What is misleading here is the preciseness of the location as well as the instructions on how to create this device, but the concept gains on credibility mainly due to the modern approach to landscape \u2013 after all \u201cnature\u201d remodelled by man is nothing unusual anymore. What the artist is primarily interested in is the question of progress when we get from prehistoric cave paintings to creating \u201cour own\u201d caves and \u201cour own nature\u201d that we have control over. \r\nWe can observe a specific type of humour and self-irony in many Jansa\u2019s exhibitions. He has an interesting way of inserting them in his performances in which he works with the principle of game and fiction. In his situation games he directs his actors whom we cannot distinguish from other visitors and who, as part of their roles, evoke absurd situations: like when at an exhibition opening the performers hidden among the visitors precisely mimicked the artist\u2019s movements. Elsewhere they would discreetly ingratiate the attention of the viewers by showing them the artist\u2019s works on their mobile phones.\r\nPerhaps Jansa\u2019s most distinctive project, where all of the already mentioned approaches and tendencies came together, is <i>Spiritual Fitness <\/i>(2016), Jansa\u2019s thesis work which was presented as a student exercise movement at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design. It is a concept elaborated and thought through in great detail that was presented and realized through video, performance, exercise showrooms and other accompanying actions. Important factors here are also the promotional materials, costumes and the entire visual aspect, which Jakub Jansa provides his face for and as the main protagonist and \u201chawk\u201d he looks at us almost eerily from the hyper realistic poster. \u201cI am now taking over the task of your mentor and fitness trainer who offers methods for a unique self-development plan set in the environment of an Applied Arts school.\u201d&nbsp; <i>Spiritual Fitness <\/i>offers exercise aids and methods that will help us change our lives, fill it with optimism and increase our self-confidence and self-control. Mystification reaches a marginal boarder here and it is quite possible that this project would take root in our current reality, while being on the same level with similar self-developmental businesses that we encounter in our daily lives. \r\n<i>Spiritual Fitness<\/i> then is not a case of literal criticism but rather a hidden, subversive intention to turn our face to see the almost maniac desire for self-perfection and for being super human. The artist aptly comments this: \u201cIt is a Fitness Hypnoses, maximally addictive. This is the faith for supermen and former wimps.\u201d In addition to the presentation of the thesis at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, this project was also presented in the Prague Karlin Studios, at the PAF (Festival of Film Animation and Contemporary Art) in Olomouc or at the Czech Centre in New York as a part of the series of exhibitions called <i>Name of the Project is Project Itself <\/i>initiated by Jabub Jansa himself.\r\nIn addition to his own work, Jakub Jansa is also engaged in putting together exhibition projects in the Czech Republic as well as abroad. He often enjoys cooperating with other artists, graphic designers, cameramen or curators, with whom he participates on the creation of his own original projects or those of others, while his scope includes the architectonic and graphic conception of the exhibitions. As examples of these we can mention the retrospective exhibition of Karel Malich in the Prague Castle Riding School (2013) the architecture of which Jansa worked on with Federico D\u00edaz, or the exhibition <i>Zpr\u00e1va o knize (News about a Book)<\/i> 2015 in&nbsp;Letohr\u00e1dek Hv\u011bzda prepared together with Petr Bab\u00e1k and Luk\u00e1\u0161 Kijonka.
