The first video for the art and youth project “The panther in the Inselbad” is online on YouTube:

The participants of the panel discussion “Can the panther be a sin” are introduced here and give statements on the artist Fritz Behn and his panther sculpture.
They comment on Behn’s contradictory and multi-layered personality, who was clearly a right-wing politician and was active during the Nazi era, which raises questions such as “Is Behn’s art Nazi art?” or “Is there even such a thing as Nazi art”?
And of course to his work, the panther, which is at home in the Landsberg Inselbad. Here, too, questions arise: How is the panther perceived? How is it treated? Is its place in a public space appropriate for a work of art?
The video also features sound bites from Landesberg residents who were previously interviewed by the young people.
