Synopsis
This work includes text by Kassandra Nakas, and Britta Schmitz. With The Atlas Group, the Lebanese artist Walid Raad explores the contemporary history of his homeland, scarred by civil war. From 1989 to 2004, Raad compiled an archive of used finds from actual everyday life, of fictive picture documentations that say little without an explanatory context. This relies on the fact that the arranged fiction makes a much truer approach to reality possible. Walid Raad was born in Lebanon in 1967 and is based in New York and Beirut. In the work presented in this book he asks if and when experiences of a guerilla war can ever be documented. It includes English and German text.

Paperback. Etat : New. Walid Raad founded the Atlas Group in 1989 to (ostensibly) document the contemporary history of Lebanon, particularly its civil war of 1975-1990. This archive brings together found and produced photographic, audio-visual and written records, including snapshots from the private albums of the (fictional) Lebanese historian Dr. Fadl Fakhouri and the videotapes of Souheil Bachar, who was (allegedly) a hostage in Beirut in 1985. Raad's works are characterized by an aura of the documentary, all the better to fracture their credibility; to question the authenticity of the written, pictorial and audiovisual document; and to ask how history--in particular history marked by the trauma and the contradictory narratives of civil war--can be represented. Raad was born in 1967 in Chbanieh, and lives in New York and Beirut. The Atlas Group includes 11 photographic and video works from the last 10 years and two new photo series.
