Franz Kafka’s work has always been of special relevance in modern writing arousing wide critical interest. His extraordinary intelligence and his general understanding of society’s problems makes his work as relevant today as it was in his own time. My project involves producing four design practice interpretations of one of Kafka’s best known works ‘The Trial’.
The three books transform Franz Kafka’s story, ‘The Trial’, from the traditional narrative into innovative ways of conceiving the story, challenging, at the same time, the meaningful ideas found inside this book. Ways of reading, form and narrative have been explored in order to provide a critical approach to this story, giving the reader the opportunity to participate closely in the essence of this ‘trial’. The spiritual nature of the human being, existentialism, bureaucracy, guilt and totalitarianism are some of the ideas found in this book. These topics form the content of the books and, at the same time, serve as a medium for the reader to question his place in and his relationship to the world around him.
