“K”

Fondazione Prada‘s exhibition “K” surrounds three incomplete novels by Franz Kafka: Amerika, Der Prozess (The Trial), and Das Schloss (The Castle). The works were studied and explored by artist Martin Kippenberger, film director Orson Welles, and electronic music group Tangerine Dream. Kafka’s writings were published after his death between the years of 1925—1927. Comparable to the format of a triptych, the three-part exhibition offers an experience at a cultural crossroads combining historical perspectives with different fields of art, including Kippenberger’s installation The Happy End of Franz Kafka’s “Amerika”, Welles’s film The Trial, and Tangerine Dream’s musical album Franz Kafka The Castle.
