Fortune-telling/Re-telling (from 'Waste Land')

Fortune-telling/Re-telling is based on Madame Sosostris's tarot card reading in part one of T.S Eliot's poem 'The Waste Land', which is concerned with the search for significance, amid indecision and ambiguity. The superimposition of family photographs with a game of patience and the artist's own tarot card reading makes a distinction between what is known, (the past), what is becoming known (the present) and what is unknown, (the future).
