Jakub Hons (b. 1997) is a Prague-based artist and graduate of the Intermedia I Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (AVU), where he studied under Milena Dopitová. Working across audiovisual installation, sculpture, sound art, and new media, his practice investigates the complex entanglements between humans, technology, and the environment.
Hons’s work engages with themes of ecological crisis, the Anthropocene, and the shifting nature of collective memory. Operating between documentary observation and speculative fiction, he constructs immersive environments that are at once intimate and disquieting, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship to the worlds they inhabit. Central to his practice is an attentive exploration of landscape—not merely as a physical terrain, but as a repository of political, historical, and environmental inscriptions. Landscape emerges in his work as a site where memory, conflict, and imagination converge, revealing the often-invisible traces of human intervention. Through a nuanced engagement with materials, sound, and moving image, Hons examines how anthropogenic transformations become embedded within both natural systems and cultural narratives. By foregrounding the tension between human experience and geological time, his works offer subtle yet incisive reflections on contemporary society and its evolving relationship to the more-than-human world.
