What is a photographic image? What type of record does it provide? Can a photograph ever tell the truth or just provide a semblance of reality? How is history constructed, and how the history of art? These are but some of the questions artist Walid Raad has been investigating for the past twenty years in a practice that encompasses photography, film and video, sculpture, installation and performance. This publication brings together three major bodies of work: a comprehensive selection of photographic and video works produced under the fictional collective name "The Atlas Group", various series of seemingly "straight" photography of his native Beirut titled "Sweet Talk: Beirut Commissions", and his most recent project, "Scratching on Things I Could Disavow: A History of Art in the Arab World."
