The Fool is the World – Tarot by Anna Luna Astolfi Published by Leporello Books

The Tarot is an art that does not allow itself to be imprisoned by any kind of rigidity: the Arcana that compose them are a mirror and not a truth in themselves. They are chameleons, transforming themselves to adapt to the observer.

The photographs that make up The Fool is the World – Tarot have been created by walking through each Arcana in order to remain faithful to and at the same time constantly betray the original iconography of the Tarot, combining tarology, stage-photography and photographic diary.

The Triumphs, or Major Arcana, form a narrative that condenses in itself all the experiences that a human being can live through in the arc of his or her existence as an expression of a complete initiatory journey.

In this work, through the photographic image, we take possession of the stages of that journey by imagining the Triumphs outside their own map. They are here brought to life and made flesh, they are observed inside their own clothes and beyond the frame of the paper that contains them.

Inside the box, in addition to the 22 Major Arcana, a booklet acting as a guide briefly introduces the history of the Tarot and illustrates the composition and characteristics of the pack of cards, describing each figure through key words, a short text and some questions that the card may inspire. In the second booklet, an essay by Emanuele E. Pelilli and a short story by Alessandro Carrer provide further insight
on the theme.

SPAZIO LABO’ – Tuesday 11 March, 9 pm

Inhabiting the Moon
A meeting to welcome the Full Moon in Virgo
Curated by Anna Luna Astolfi

To participate it is necessary to book, free offer

On Friday 14 March, the Earth will be illuminated by a brightening Full Moon positioned in the sign of Virgo.
On the occasion of this Plenilune, on Tuesday 11 March, we will create a space in which it is possible to show ourselves through astrology, which is not a divinatory tool here, but an instrument of discovery, exploration and sharing.

Plenilunes are an ideal time for self-reflection as they represent a cycle coming to an end: hence the idea of creating a circle to observe how the stars and the Zodiac resonate within us and what can happen if we use these instruments as mirrors and not as oracles ready to tell us our destiny.

During the evening we will open a circle to answer the questions that the Plenilune poses to us. The reflections that the circle opens will be inspired mainly by the positioning of the Sun and Moon and the energies that are set in motion thanks to the zodiacal signs in which the two luminaries are found, in this case we are in the Virgin-Fish axis, therefore between reality and imagination. The signs most influenced by the Plenilune will therefore be the mobile ones, namely Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces!

Finally, those who wish can read aloud the answers to the circle to share their experience, and then burn the paper under the moon.
