    Great piece of work. K is in the Trial though, it's Gregor who transforms in Metamorphosis...

    Great sculpture! Reminds me of Kafka's wish to change but in the end he never left Prague and kept being who he was.

    Thanks for sharing this video of an amazing piece of art. Unfortunately the video contains some false information. This sculpture is by no means close to building where he worked as a clerk in an insurance company, actually it's pretty far away. One place closest to this sculpture is the building of the criminal court where he spent a part of his year of obligatory unpaid service after he became a doctor of law. Another place quite close would be the apartment of the Brod family where he met his later Felice Bauer for the first time. Also K is not the main character of "The Metamorphosis", but "The Trial" and "The Castle". The main character of the "The Metamorphosis" is called "Gregor Samsa".

    Interesting sculpture! Who wrote the text though? Joseph K was not in the Metamorphosis, I cannot believe somebody would confuse that with The Trial!

    Gregor Samsa was in the Metamorphosis, Josef K was The Trial

    He did not work as a clerk. He was a lawyer and worked as one, and also had management and advisory duties.

    It's an idiotic spectacle, agreed upon by a group of the sort of people Kafka wrote about.
