Roy Samaha is a Lebanese artist who lives in Beirut. His videos have been shown at various film festivals and contemporary art exhibitions around the world since 2002. Part of his field research focuses on electronic media in correlation with altered states of perception. He is also fascinated with anthropological studies and accounts of shamanistic rituals and aesthetics. Alongside his art practice, Samaha became involved in the broadcasting and news industry, where he worked from 1998 to 2008. He uses these influences to explore the boundaries of cinematic language, the perception of reality and the memory of personal objects in works such as Untitled for Several Reasons (2003) and Sun Rave (2019).
