ENG — The Dark Matter Cinema Tarot is a vernacular technology, a tool to collectively explore how cinematographic images can open up new channels of infra-perception connecting different realms of personal, aesthetic and political experience and enquiry, reaching towards the dark matter that haunts cinema and the ghosts of both past and future lives that inhabit it. In conceiving the DMC Tarot, Silvia Maglioni & Graeme Thomson have replaced the traditional Major and Minor Arcana with a selection of still frames drawn from the history of cinema.
Each reading of the Tarot summons a Nocturnal Committee and invites participants to gather together to pose burning questions to the cards. By sharing visions and speaking through cinema images, the Nocturnal Committee are invited to pursue the alternative narratives and healing possibilities that may be harboured in the different constellations of figures, forms and forces resulting from each fall of the cards. No longer solely tied to their original narrative function, the images of the DMC cards, suspended between contingency and fatality, refract the questions posed to them through a process of speculative description and collective fabulation and storytelling, with each reading forming a singular montage of gestures, situations and relations.

En concevant le DMC Tarot, Silvia Maglioni et Graeme Thomson ont remplacé les Arcanes Majeurs et Mineurs par une sélection de 78 photogrammes tirés de l'histoire du cinéma.
