Walid Raad works with video, photography, and literary essays to investigate the contemporary history of war in his native Lebanon.
That summer Raad, an intrepid 15-year-old with a telephoto lens, took photographs of near and distant military activity in West Beirut from his home in the eastern sector.
Highly regarded for his project The Atlas Group, Raad grapples with the representation of traumatic events of collective historical dimensions and the ways film, video, and photography function as documents of physical and psychological violence.

  village voice > art > Walid Raad/the Atlas Group: Interrogation Nation: Art as a Detective Report by Jerry Saltz
For Raad, Lebanon is a Gordian knot of notaries, dentists, professors, and mechanics—a principality of would-be revolutionaries, marginal characters, and heartbroken souls.
Yet for all his pseudo-scientific esotericism and his ultra-educated post-structuralism, Raad (or at least his character) is a textbook romantic: a man in search of the miraculous, a knight-errant taken with political intrigue, social estrangement, and emptiness—someone preoccupied with connections and affinities, real or not.
Raad's vision of his war-torn country is part apparition, part anxiety attack, and part healing fantasy.
