Visual Adaptation of Franz Kafka's

The Metamorphosis

​

Through my eyes this book is like a theatre performance where the Michael Craig-Martin's aesthetics meets Lars von Trier's elevation of the scenes.

​

The method of working consistently followed the question what the minimal means to convey the message are. Words - stage/setting - position - icons - colour was the system I used to transform the story into the way I saw it. Starting with the basic elements and then adding the clarification. 

​

A sterile setting evokes the distant, unhealthy family relationships, loneliness and alienation. The transformation and self identity search are given as subtle changes in the icons.
