The Atlas Group: Volume 1
Summary
Founded in 1999 by artist Walid Raad, The Atlas Group is a fictional archive consisting of lectures, documentaries and installations about Lebanon's civil war. Through this archive, Raad has created an alternative world, one in which conflict is not portrayed as a succession of facts, but as an abstract composition of memories and media reports. Here, Raad documents the historical figure of Dr. Fadi Fakhouri--leading civil war historian--through notebooks, videos and photographs.
