Anna Luna Astolfi's Photographic Tarot Deck 'VIA'
Anna Luna Astolfi (1995, Sora) created 'VIA', a photographic tarot deck that reinterprets the Major Arcana through stage photography and visual diary. The project remains faithful to traditional tarot iconography while constantly betraying it, blending tarology, staged imagery, and photographic diary. Astolfi, trained at IED Rome and ISIA Urbino, focuses on photographic publishing. The work aims to bring the Trionfi to life outside their cards, making them flesh and blood, and exploring their hidden meanings.
