Bookieman and Et le Shinui are proud to present:

“Acting Souls”

The third event of the “Et LeShinuy” (Time for a Change) series – meetings whose purpose is to reflect on the connection between art, literature and social change.

Bookieman, an independent publishing house (http://bookieman.org) is coming to the Barbur Gallery to present its debut release from the end of 2009, “Acting Souls” (Nefashot Poalot).

“Acting Souls” is a hand-bound artist book, in which six young illustrators and one young author discuss in an associative manner the theme of “psychoanalysis”; the un-conscious, the therapeutic process, defense mechanisms, memory, torture, repression etc. There are only forty-five hand made copies of the book.

Nino Biniashvili and Omri Grinberg, the founders of Bookieman, will present the background to its foundation and the creation of “Acting Souls”, and the illustrators Idit Engemar, Nir Golan and Kineret Louria will discuss their works featured in it.

Yiftach Ashkenazy, who wrote the foreword to the book, will also take part in the discussion. Ashkenazy, who recently released his debut novel “Persona Non-Grata” in Hargol-Am Oved, discusses in the foreword the relation between illustration and creation in general and the psychoanalytic process.

During the evening the few remaining copies of the book will be on sale.
