FREE TAROT READING AT XXX ADDRESS (2021)


PARTICIPATORY PERFORMANCE, PERFORMATIVE FICTION. Fictional tarot session, secret address, invitation economy, social mythology, manufactured desire.

FREE TAROT READING AT XXX ADDRESS presented a staged fiction of an exclusive tarot reading at a secret location. The event was never announced beforehand. Instead, audiences encountered it retrospectively through documentation and traces suggesting that an intimate gathering had already taken place.

Operating through absence rather than participation, the work activated speculation, curiosity, and the unsettling possibility of having missed something meaningful. The secret became more significant than its content, while rumors and second-hand accounts generated an idendtity around an event that remained fundamentally inaccessible.

Moving between hoax, performative fiction, and social choreography, FREE TAROT READING AT SECRET ADDRESS examined how exclusivity, scarcity, and insider knowledge produce value within cultural communities. The work transformed FOMO into its primary medium, allowing the fiction to unfold through conversations, assumptions, and the desire to have been there.
