Selfportraits Series or the life the artist dreams of, where identities and religions multiply (Self-Portrait, 2013) unify (Self-Potrait 2016) and ultimately disappear to give way to the infinity of the sea (2018) while the sizes of the portraits decrease, 100x100, 50x50, 15x10.

The series consists of 3 self-portraits.

The first one, from 2012 shows Sabyl on a bench, multiplied by 3, as an Imam, a Priest and a Rabbi. The second, from 2015 shows the artist wearing all three religions on his back. The third, dating from 2018 barely shows the shadow of his reflection in a window facing the sea, another subject dear to Sabyl.

Sabyl Ghoussoub, a bit of a Renaissance Man, who spends his time between Paris and Batroun.

He became director of the Lebanese Film Festival in Beirut in 2011. Since 2015, he has switched his focus on photography and writing. He writes for various publications, both on and off-line such as Orient XXI, Agenda Culturel and Tamyras. As of 2018 he has created his blog with co-writer Laura Schwartz in the French magazine, Liberation. He is currently preparing a photo book with the Lebanese publishing house Tamyras and has published his first novel, "Le Nez Juif".

His photos and photo-reportages have been published in l'Oeil de la Photographie, the Guardian, Art Paper as well as Fotografia Magazine.
