点评:Having read and enjoyed some of Franz Kafka's works back in school, it was a wonderful surprise to come across this impressive sculpture dedicated to him while exploring beautiful Prague. I hadn't known about it before-hand - I simple stumbled upon it while navigating through the city - but I'm very glad I did.
The Franz Kafka Head is a striking blend of art and modern technology. Created by Czech artist David Černý, it consists of layered, rotating stainless-steel segments which continually shift and realign to form Kafka's face. This constant motion can be seen as a clever nod to "Metamorphosis", one of Kafka's most famous themes - and also the title of one of his novels - symbolizing transformation, fragmentation, and the complexity of identity.
Whether you're familiar with Kafka's writing or not, the sculpture is mesmerizing to watch and makes for a unique cultural highlight in Prague. Well worth taking a moment to visit!
翻译:学生时代读过弗朗茨·卡夫卡的一些作品,很喜欢,所以在游览美丽的布拉格时,偶然发现这座令人印象深刻的卡夫卡头像雕塑,真是个惊喜。之前我并不知道它的存在——只是在城市漫步时偶然发现的——但我很高兴自己发现了它。
弗朗茨·卡夫卡头像雕塑巧妙地融合了艺术与现代科技。它由捷克艺术家大卫·切尔尼创作,由层叠旋转的不锈钢部件组成,这些部件不断移动和重新排列,最终构成卡夫卡的面容。这种持续的运动可以被视为对卡夫卡最著名的主题之一——也是他的一部小说的标题——“变形”的巧妙致敬,象征着转变、分裂和身份的复杂性。
无论你是否熟悉卡夫卡的作品,这座雕塑都令人着迷,是布拉格独具特色的文化亮点。非常值得驻足欣赏!
