Walid Raad catalogues the images collected in the Portfolio for Electra 8 under the signature Farid Sarroukh, “a mediocre painter who was irked (but not surprised) by his colleagues’ eager collaboration with the militias”. As Fernando Pessoa and Jorge Luis Borges show, we are all the Other of Ourselves. These lines, which are in this magazine as if it were another, speak of Walid Raad – and it is of Farid Sarroukh, too, that we are speaking.
