Tarot de Sophia
2011
France
Art Medium:
Photographs, digitally manipulated to appear as engravings with variable line thickness, and imposed on a complex textured background.
Description:
Photographs of women's torsos, probably the same person. Various Hebrew letters, magical sigils of the planets, and serpent motifs appear in a panel at the lower part of the card. This tarot bears the name 'Gay Savoir' as the creator of the images. This may be a reference to Friedrich Nietzsche work 'Le Gay Savoir', 1882. This publisher also issued the 'Reverie sur le Tarot de Nerval'.
