Son of an Iraqi father and a Palestinian mother, Lebanese artist Jalal Toufic is a film theorist, video artist, and writer who creates works filled with philosophical reflections, humor, and curiosity about all facets of life. Richard Foreman writes that Toufic "documents the moves of consciousness in a way that leads the reader ever deeper, from impasse to illusion to new impasse–turning the trap of 'what can't be named' into a true paradise." Toufic's videos and mixed media works have been presented worldwide, and include Phantom Beirut: A Tribute to Ghassan Salhab, 2002; Saving Face, 2003; and The Sleep of Reason: This Blood Spilled in My Veins, 2002. His books include Distracted, Vampires, Over-Sensitivity, Forthcoming, and Undying Love or Love Dies.
