The project, curated by Udo Kittelmann, refers to three unfinished novels by Franz Kafka: \u003cem\u003eAmerika (America), Der Prozess (The Trial)\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDas Schloss (The Castle)\u003c\/em\u003e published posthumously between 1925 and 1927. The exhibited artworks are personal readings of Kafka's subjects and atmospheres, possible interpretations of his three novels which, according to Max Brod, form a \"trilogy of solitude\". As underlined by Udo Kittelmann, \"we may also view 'K' as a triptych, an exhibition that resembles a tripartite, triple-layered picture. The three parts can be read together as a remarkable allegory of the vicissitudes of life, or, in Kafka's words: 'All these parables really set out to say merely that the incomprehensible is incomprehensible, and we know that already.'\" [publisher's note]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an essay by Udo Kittelmann, and an anthology of texts by Anthea Bell, Massimo Cacciari, Paola Capriolo, Edgar Froese, Umberto Gandini, Michael Hofmann, Franz Kafka, Martin Kippenberger, Susanne Kippenberger, Primo Levi, Thomas Martinec, Breon Mitchell, Ayad B.
