Le Cerveau Affamé

36 card Tarot Deck

2013 (Published in May 2022)

Le Cerveau Affamé is a place that appears to a person during heightened states of euphoria, confusion, melancholia or despair. Le Cerveau is not the answer, it proposes a new set of questions. On entering a game is set in motion. The initiate is shown a deck of 36 cards, the selection of which unveils a corporeal journey. There can be multiple visits, each spread reveals a different proposition.

Le Cerveau Affamé is based on four principal characters : ‘the brain’ ‘the bubble’ ‘the cat’ and ‘the hand’. Mouthing the card name silently and energetically to yourself will release its meaning into your brain.
