The Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photo graphy is recognized as one of the most important prizes for photography in the world today. The Hasselblad Award is granted to a photographer recognized for major achievements. This may be an individual who has made a pioneering achievement in photography, who has had a decisive impact on younger generations of photo - graphers, or who has implemented one or more internationally significant photographic projects.

Walid Raad is one of the most original and singular practitioners using photography today. His project The Atlas Group, in which Raad generated original ideas about the relationships between documentary photography, archive and history, has been widely acclaimed. In order to document and investigate Lebanons contemporary history, Raad has developed innovative methods of approaching war imagery and exploring political and social conflict. Raads work allows us to question the traditional iconography of war photography and speculate on visuality, memory and violence. The dead weight of this quarrel hangs contains several unpublished works from The Atlas Group project.

L'artista libanese/americano Walid Raad è stato selezionato come 31^ vincitore del Premio Internazionale della Fondazione Hasselblad per la Fotografia. Il premio è stato presentato a Raad a New York l'8 marzo 2011. Ogni anno una mostra di opere del vincitore del premio si apre presso l'Hasselblad Center di Göteborg e viene pubblicato un libro. Walid Raad è uno dei professionisti più originali e singolari che usano la fotografia oggi. Il suo progetto "The Atlas Group", in cui Raad ha generato idee originali sulle relazioni tra fotografia documentaria, archivio e storia, è stato ampiamente acclamato. Per documentare e indagare la storia contemporanea del Libano, Raad ha sviluppato metodi innovativi per avvicinarsi alle immagini di guerra ed esplorare il conflitto politico e sociale.
