Amongst the concepts that Karam has investigated, the notions of “architecture of performance” and “story-telling architecture” tackle the universality of the human struggle in relation to our understanding of space.

These notions permeate his work across different media and are directly manifested within the idea of Contemporary Labyrinths, which invite us to re-think our interaction with physical and mental spaces. In Karam’s approach, a labyrinth reflects our globalized world, and we are required to explore diverse creative processes to understand multifaceted contemporary realities. Contemporary Labyrinths thus belong to mindscapes as well as landscapes; they are spaces to be thought as well as walked.
