Jakub Jansa is an artist who works with film, installation, and performance. His exhibition series Club of Opportunities features a hybrid figure of a human and a celery root. Through this figure, he explores issues of hierarchy, class, and cultural relationships.

He employs fiction, humor, and elements of the grotesque to create exhibition environments that tell stories about contemporary social issues. Jansa exhibits both in the Czech Republic and abroad. In 2023 he held a large solo exhibition at the Stone Bell House of the Prague City Gallery. He has also presented his work at Pioneer Works (2018) and Anthology Film Archives (2023) in New York, the 34th Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts (2021), HEK in Basel (2020), and the 6th Athens Biennale (2018). In 2021 he won the Jindřich Chalupecký Award. His work Shame to Pride is part of the new permanent exhibition at the National Gallery Prague. In 2022 he created an ambitious new work for the exhibition Flower Union, which was organized by the National Gallery Prague on the occasion of the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The latest, ninth episode of Club of Opportunities was commissioned for the 57th steirischer herbst (2024) at the Neue Galerie Graz.
