THE METAMORPHOSIS. Exhibition of the Competition Photos in Vienna

The best photographs of the competition

„When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.“ This is probably the beginning of Franz Kafka's most famous story, The Metamorphosis.

Professional and amateur photographers from the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria were invited to submit their photographs on the subject of transformation and write a short text about how the photo was taken, their inspiration, their motivation or their relationship to the Prague author.

After a long and lively discussion, a three-member jury (curator Simona Binko from the Czech Centre Berlin, photographer Siegfried Hansen from Hamburg and photographer Jan Jindra from Tomas Bata University in Zlín) selected the best photographs from more than 260 entries.

The results of the photo competition can be found here: www.kafka2024.de
