Karim is an audio-visual artist who works with a range of media including moving image, installation, sound and painting. Deploying the capacity of emotion, the sensible image-movement, and our ability to imagine, Karim leads viewers to a perceptual world, to evoke meaning rather than mere description. He stages interventions in the cityscape using film projections that complicate the nature of the site.
