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.

​
Arcanes, the edition, is a cycle of 22 texts inspired by each of the major arcana of the Tarot de Marseille. These texts are written as standalone pieces, without titles: they are poems that can be read independently or in sequence, akin to a poetic art form. This collection of texts can be viewed as a manifesto on the desire to create, highlighting the parallels between artistic creation and alchemical transformation.
