The Only Way Out is an immersive installation located in the heart of Geneva, home to the United Nations and a historic centre of humanitarian action. On the ground, visitors move forward with hesitation. Seen from above, the structure takes the shape of an anti-personnel landmine. Every dead end reveals an explosive threat. Every step brings uncertainty and tension. There is only one way out: a single fully cleared path. For millions of people living in areas contaminated by landmines and explosive remnants of war, this is not an experience. It is everyday life.
Submunition found in a rice field in Laos. Nicknamed the “guava bomb” because of its shape and green colour, it contains numerous metal fragments designed to injure people over a wide area.
Anti-personnel mine found in Tajikistan. Nicknamed the “Black Widow”, it is designed to detonate when more than 6 kg of pressure is applied to its pressure plate. Extremely dangerous to handle, it must be destroyed on the spot.
