metamorphosis
the head of writer Franz Kafka by Czech artist David Černy
Installed in 2014, the enormous (11 meters high) sculpture is comprised of 42 motorized layers of stainless steel that move independently, rearranging and “metamorphosing” the author’s face. Called “K on Sun”, the head weighs in at some 45 tons and sits near the office building where Kafka worked as a clerk at an insurance company, across from the Prague City Hall.
The Metamorphosis is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been called one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world.
The story is about a traveling salesman Gregor Samsa, waking one day to find himself transformed (metamorphosed) into a large, monstrous insect-like creature.
