Walid Ra'ad: about the Arab visual world
A central theme in the work of Walid Ra'ad is the war that tore apart Lebanon between 1975 and 1990. In his work fiction and reality become so mixed as to be almost indistinguishable. Not just reality is important to him, but also how this reality might have been.
