My university joined the celebrations of Franz Kafka's legacy on the occassion of his 100th anniversary of death and tasked students with creating posters that reflect the thoughts and works of the great writer. On my poster, there is an emergency break found in older czech trains. However, instead of the standard handle which is pulled down to stop the train, a barbed wire is attached. The poster reflects the feeling of hopelesness arising from the inability to stop the processes leading to our demise either as an individual or as a society at large. In this sense, the poster could also work as a book cover for The Trial.
