In 36,000 Ways is an installation about the physical reality of modern warfare. In an enclosed space, you’ll be surrounded by missile fragments collected from the frontlines in Ukraine. You are invited to take one shrapnel in your hand. Your bodily signals are translated into a low, vibrating sound that reflects your physical state. It leaves much unseen, asking you to confront the weight of violence and war on your own terms and to consider how it is felt and carried within the body.
Karim is a Belgian-Tunisian contemporary artist whose interdisciplinary work examines how humans relate to armed conflict. Drawing on his background as a war correspondent, he uses photography, spatial sound, kinetic sculpture, and immersive technologies (AR/VR) to critique how war is represented, remembered, and internalized. His practice challenges the normalization of violence and invites reflection on society’s relationship with conflict.
