The paintings in the exhibition "In den Seilen" primarily show wrestlers in competition and their spectators. Nils Ben Brahim has been interested in wrestling for a long time. In the paintings of the exhibition he wants to point out the contradictions between appearance and reality, which for him come to light in this show combat sport. In particular, the clear separation between good and bad in the fight opposed to the shades of gray in real life and the staging of the fighters as characters without everyday problems, which contrasts with their often unglamorous real lives, are themes that Nils Ben Brahim has observed during his engagement with wrestling and takes up in the paintings. For Nils Ben Brahim, the colorful show character of wrestling and the clearly assigned roles that go along with it form a sort of parallel world in which the multi-layered nuances of our everyday lives are suspended. Nils Ben Brahim sees in these contradictions many parallels to real life outside the world of wrestling, which is often characterized by insecurities.
