Franz Kafka Parable Vladmaster Set

Description

Vladmasters are handmade viewmaster disks designed, photographed, and hand-assembled by Vladimir. They make use of toys, neglected household objects, and other miscellany to tell 28-picture stories. The Franz Kafka Parable Vladmaster set consists of four disks and a box to keep them in.

In addition to well-known longer works such as The Metamorphosis, The Penal Colony, and The Castle, Franz Kafka wrote a series of parables. These parables are brief and enigmatic re-imaginings of traditional mythic and historic figures. Poseidon grows bored with the sea; Alexander the Great is overcome by the weight of his own body; and the desecration of a temple becomes a ritual event for its worshippers. This Vladmaster set recasts four of Kafka's parables (Couriers, Alexander the Great, Poseidon, and Leopards) with a cast of toys and tissue paper environments. Each image is accompanied by text from the parable printed on the reel.
