The Monuments is a durational project, articulated across 17 chapters, developed by JAŠA at Kühlhaus Berlin, initiated in 2021 and concluding in 2026. It offers a distinctly conceptual approach to contemporary art, fundamentally engaging with the phenomenology of space, time, and community.

The artist's conceptual stance is embedded as an “attitude” toward the utilization of space and time. Through the dialectical process of embedding the ephemeral in materials, JAŠA, with his performance group, generates works of art that actively generate and shape reality. The project functions as a self-aware, community-organized structure that builds ways for the protagonists to survive and thrive, consistently contemplating closeness, urgency, and self-realization.

Individual chapters present unique and independent events unified by a developing conceptual narrative. A live artwork's capacity to react directly to the socio-politics of the moment is essential. The project's formal logic structures itself through the simultaneous expansion and contraction of site-specific and performance interventions. While the experience of the work is finite, material ownership is secondary. The resulting trace is a slot of memory—fragments of this experience disseminated throughout the spectator’s consciousness.
