Arcana is both an edition and a performance inspired by the Tarot de Marseille.
The performance always starts from an intimate interaction with one to two people. The elements of this performance are: a question, a print, and a poem composed to bridge the two.
This poem, composed on the spot, is the reflection of an interpretation and an original creation adapted to its recipient.

Arcana, the edition, is a cycle of 22 texts driven by each major arcana of the Tarot de Marseille. The texts were therefore written as autonomous from their starting points, without a title: they are poems that can be read independently of each other or in sequence, like a poetic art. We can then see in this assembly of texts a manifesto on the desire to create, on the parallel between artistic creation and alchemical creation.
