the metamorphosis of franz kafka
collage of digital & traditional pieces / 2022some years ago i have read the novella for the first time. 2022, during a horrendous time, i have re-read it again and since then - kafka and his stories occupied a big part in my life.
though gregor samsa is not franz kafka, the parallels in their lifes are strikingly noticeable. the vermin-metaphor (mostly portrayed as an insect) is great for the visualization of helplessness, general discontent with one's life and the deviation from society - resulting in isolation
kafka found inspiration in rude insults from his father towards his friends - as well as the scenario, of simply not being able to get out of bed in the morning, because you felt as helpless as a beetle on its back.Jul 11, 2024
