Athena Tacha | Little Habits








Athena Tacha
Little Habits
New York City, USA: Self-published, 1980
8 pp., 14 x 6 cm., accordion fold
Edition size unknown


Like many of Athena Tacha's small, affordable publications, Little Habits is an accordion-fold booklet housed in a plastic slipcase.


“Tacha’s accordion-fold pocket books are “meditations on a particular aspect of life, describing ordinary acts and phenomena such as scratching dandruff from the scalp, considering which groceries to buy in the supermarket, or the appearance of wrinkles with age. Tacha’s reflections bring to light the broader implications of these seemingly commonplace events, making allusions to the ecological, sociological, and political impacts of our personal choices and emotions and visa versa. Just as often, Tacha’s reflections stay within the intimate scope of the act or object described and leave the reader to draw their own conclusions.”
