Jelmer Konjo, a Rotterdam-based graduate of the Willem de Kooning Academy, interrogates the rigid norms of adulthood through whimsical, process-driven art. Transforming playground equipment and unconventional materials into tactile sculptures, Konjo revives childhood’s fearless creativity, challenging the utilitarian mindset of modern life. His work—a fusion of playfulness and philosophical inquiry—celebrates mistakes, experimentation, and the subversion of functionality. By recontextualizing familiar objects (like swings or slides), he questions how societal expectations shape perception. Konjo’s installations, showcased in European galleries, act as tactile provocations, urging audiences to reclaim imagination as a radical act of resistance.

這位畢業於荷蘭鹿特丹 威廉德庫寧學院（Willem de Kooning Academy）的藝術家，以荒誕奇想、過程導向的創作，挑戰成人世界的僵化常規。他將遊樂場設施與非傳統媒材轉化為可觸碰的雕塑，重燃童年無畏的創造力，質疑現代生活的功利思維。其作品玩味與哲思交融，頌揚錯誤、實驗與功能的顛覆 —— 透過將日常物件（如鞦韆、滑梯）重新置入語境，叩問社會期待如何形塑認知。Konjo的裝置現身歐洲多處藝廊，以觸覺挑動感知，呼籲觀眾以想像力作為抵抗現實的激進宣言。
