Posed photographs.
Description:
This photographic version of the 22 Trumps depicts two performance artists, Giovanni Pelosini and Santini Del Pretel, travelling through Tuscany as railway men posing for photographs to reflect the tarot ideas from a humourous angle. The two friends journey to 22 train station locations while wearing their matching uniforms (one with red cap, the other with blue). These two characters are present on all the cards except on the Fool, where Giovanni Pelosini is shown walking down a path wearing a colourful knapsack and mismatched attire while clumsily carrying a cat. Giovanni Pelosini is a well known writer on tarot and esoteric themes.
