Keep Karlsruhe Boring...Nov 4

Vernissage: RETOUR DE PARIS: IDEN SUNGYOUNG KIM

Stiftung Centre Culturel Franco-Allemand Karlsruhe, Thursday, November 6 at 07:00 PM GMT+1

In ihrer Ausstellung befragt die Künstlerin Iden Sungyoung Kim imperialistische Geschichte und deren Wiederholung. Zwischen politischem Kalkül, wissenschaftlichem Experiment und humaner Katastrophe spannt sie einen historischen Bogen vom Manhattan-Projekt (Hiroshima) bis zum weltweiten Nuklearkonflit. Recherche in Archiven und der Zugriff auf Zeitzeuge lassen ein komplexes Narrativ von Konflikt, Risiko, imperialistischer Geste und dem blinden Glauben an wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt erstehen. Mit der Kernforschung bewegen wir uns auf fragilem, politischem Terrain. Am Eröffnungstag stellt eine Cocktail-Lecture Performance ironische Bezüge zur Alltagspolitik her.

Créé pour l’exposition, le court-métrage de l'artiste Iden Sungyoung Kim revient sur les explosions nucléaires du passé. Entre calcul politique, expérience scientifique et catastrophe humanitaire, le film retrace l’évolution du projet Manhattan jusqu’au récent accident de Fukushima. Extraits d’archives et documents d'époque tissent un récit complexe mêlant conflit, geste impérialiste et progrès scientifique. Le nucléaire se situe sur un terrain politique fragile où nous ne sommes pas à l'abri de l'ironie d’un déjà-vu historique. Une conférence-performance et un cocktail closent la soirée.

Vernissage le 6 novembre à 19 heures. Exposition jusqu'au 13 décembre 2025.

Ah, the pinnacle of scientific inquiry: testing the cognitive prowess of radioactive bugs 🐞🧠! Because clearly, after a nuclear disaster, what the world really needs is a bunch of insect IQ tests to keep us entertained. #CNRS, your contribution to science is truly mind-blowing... literally. 🤯✨

Fukushima insects tested for cognition

In the contaminated area around Fukushima, Japan, scientists are studying the impact of radioactivity on the cognitive abilities of pollinating insects such as honeybees and giant hornets.

Border stones 5, 6, 7 mark out an odd little triangle, then lead us on along a field. We might feel in the middle of nowhere, but we are approaching one of the relay stations of the cross-border CERN hadron collider loop. Modern physics meets ancient political history. If it weren’t the holidays, we might imagine particles zooming around under our feet, oblivious to human territories.
