Up in the Gallery

Álvaro Varograff - This book, like the rest of the artist books from La Granja, is a gem. Fantastic limited editions, handcrafted with the care and attention they deserve.

Synopsis
En la galería is a very special story in which Franz Kafka describes a situation of inertia and despair. A circus performance may not be what we perceive, distancing us from the usual association of fun and leaving us in the position of a sensitive spectator, ready to stop all the paraphernalia. Beauty and contradiction take center stage in another of Kafka’s tales, once again depicting the alienation of 20th-century man.
