Der Bau

Kafka's story The Burrow is the record of a subterranean world in which happiness and paranoia are closely intertwined. It describes a kind of human animal, a Kafkaesque, thinking animal. The creature lives in a mental crusade, in a permanent state of emergency, directed against the outside world, against possible intruders, against the foreign. The slightest noise is maximum stress for the creator. The building is a parable about society, which constantly creates risks by trying to prevent them. As in all of Kafka's stories, the consequences of their actions and thoughts drive the creatures, animals, people and men relentlessly before them, mostly abandoned by any sense of reality.
