‘Mein Name ist K’ is an event jointly organized by the Goethe-Institut and the Czech Center in Bucharest, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Franz Kafka’s death. It proposes a surrealistic fusion of concert poses, durational sound installations, and elements of performance art.

The visual concept aims to depict the disruptive worlds found in Kafka’s writings, particularly ‘Metamorphosis’ and ‘The Trial,’ through the lens of a cockroach.

Our goal was to construct a distorted and chaotic workspace, amplifying the overwhelming and stressful feelings often induced by our daily lives. However, this portrayal is seen through the unique perspective of a cockroach.
