Jorge Mendez Blake has created an art installation “The Castle”, inspired by literature.
By using a lone Kafka novel, El Castillo, Blake has shown the physical representation of the impact one book can make.
Franz Kafka’s book lies at the bottom of a brick wall causing a slight but increasingly noticeable change in the wall’s structure. It is one of those ideas we all think, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?!’
If you appreciate this piece of art, you will love his other installations which you can find on his website.
