Auf der Galerie
by Franz Kafka
'Auf der Galerie' Summary
In der Erzählung "Auf der Galerie" schildert Franz Kafka in zwei gegensätzlichen Perspektiven die Darbietung einer Künstlerin in einem Zirkus. Die Künstlerin, die in einem grotesken Kostüm vor der Galerie auftritt, wirkt auf den Zuschauer zunächst faszinierend, aber auch bedrohlich. Der Zuschauer selbst wird jedoch von dem inneren Konflikt zwischen Faszination und Angst gequält. Durch die Wechsel der Perspektiven zwischen Künstler und Publikum offenbart Kafka die paradoxe Natur der Kunst und die Ambivalenz unserer Wahrnehmung.Book Details
