This publication brings together three major bodies of work: the 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: Commissions (Beirut)"; and his most recent project, "Scratching on Things I Could Disavow: A History of Art in the Arab World.
