La Métamorphose illustrated by Miquel Barceló

"I read La Métamorphose at the age of 13 or 14 in one go, at night. Maybe even twice in a row, as I used to do sometimes. […] I then reread it several times. Maybe every decade. I consider it a kind of essential and modern comic (like Cervantes). The more the years and events pass, the more I find Franz Kafka relevant, with this humor that was said to be Jewish but which is a very ancient form of humanism... cosmic despair... […] Metamorphosis: change. The only one who does not change is Gregor Samsa, he may be losing weight, but he remains the same from the moment he wakes up until the end. Everything around him is transformed. His father, his mother, his little sister! After reading it, we become aware of something that we had forgotten for a long time, that we already knew."

Deeply influenced by this fiction, this is how the artist explains the strong bond that binds him to this text that has inhabited him since his adolescence.
