SWING MONKEY SWING is an interactive art series that combines playfulness and movement. Inside a frame, a small monkey hangs, seemingly waiting for action. The true magic of the artwork is revealed when the viewer pulls the string on the side—at that moment, the monkey comes to life, swinging back and forth as if moving through an invisible jungle.
This series invites interaction and literally sets art in motion. The play of gravity, balance, and rhythm makes each moment unique; no two swings are ever exactly the same. By activating the piece, the viewer becomes not just an observer but an active participant in the experience. SWING MONKEY SWING explores the boundaries between art and play, reminding us of the simple joy of movement and discovery.
