“Kafkaesque Malady” is my project to visualize the transformation of the character Gregor Samsa before the beginning of the Novel “The Metamorphosis” By Franz Kafka. The novel starts with Gregor waking up from a nightmare to find himself turned into a monstrous vermin but never did explain the process of the transformation which made him into the monstrous vermin.
This project is aimed at readers of the novel who might never have thought about the transformation of Gregor that he had to go through before the novel started. The project uses charcoal animation as a medium to help the viewer understand the process of how Gregor changes from a human into a hybrid of vermins. The traces of frames that were left emphasise that Gregor cannot change back to how he was, aka being a human.
