Der Panther – Monika Flake – Germany
Inspiration was the poem of Rainer Maria Rilke ‘The Panther’ (in the Jardin des plantes, Paris).The first verse reads as follows.
His gaze has from the passing by of bars become so numb that it holds nothing more. He feels as if there were a thousand bars and beyond those thousand bars no world. Maybe the situation reminds me of the current restrictions imposed by corona. Stay at home, stay safe, some kind of isolation and bondage for everyone.
