Solomon Nagler is best known for his experimental film work that incorporates various forms of text on screen, and sculptural poetry. piyyut, his first book of poetry, is a long-form poem that assembles stories and fables from the Jewish Diaspora, attempting to unsettle refugee migration stories while exhuming poetic, prophetic voices in post-holocaust Europe.
Each verse in this letterpress book published by Nevermore Press is accompanied by hybrid vector-based and hand-rendered images by visual artist Angela Henderson, exploring intersections between experimental drawing and lyrical poetic form.
This screening assembles a collection of Solomon Nagler’s films that incorporate sculptural poetry, and will be accompanied by a performance of select poems from piyyut.
