Artist Book Launch – Hagar Cygler

Magasin III Jaffa Books will host the artist Hagar Cygler to launch her new artist book- Don’t Take It to Heart.

The book interweaves the archival research of a residential building in Poland, as well as genealogical and visual research dealing with Cygler’s family history, tying together personal, national, historical, and political narratives. Browsing through the book allows multi-directional reading, from the inside, out and back again, but the browsing does not bring answers – photographs and documents keep folding into each other and refuse to give the full picture.
The book is bound by hand, made by cyanotype printing, in a limited edition.

For the event, Hagar Cygler will guide the activity of making and binding small books.
