Rami Sabbagh was born in Beirut in July 1979 and is a video artist, film editor, and musician. In 2000, he discovered the disappeared work of Lebanese avant-garde filmmaker Christian Ghazi and worked with him on his last documentary Coffin of the Memory in 2001.
Sabbagh’s videos 2mg of rotten blood on pure white snow (2006), the last hero (2011) and imperfect unless performed in blood (2018) oscillate between fiction and video art and in 2020 he co-directed topology of an absence with experimental musician Sharif Sehnaoui , an experimental documentary that offers a response and a poetico-fictional interpretation of archival images from Pathé Gaumont filmed in Beirut during the French mandate of Lebanon.
Between 2013 and 2018, Sabbagh participated in the foundation and artistic direction of Dawawine a multi-purpose space in Beirut.
