GHETTO TAROT?

If a reader reads the tarot deck intuitively, they know that to read any deck is to bring it to live…to situate each card into a living realm and work then through the energies of the spirits within the cards to reveal the unknown – but just what if the reverse was to happen…

Belgian Photographer, Journalist, Filmmaker, Artist, Teacher and Traveler, Alice Smeets has been traveling to and living in Haiti to document the country and it’s people since 2007. Alice served as an assistant to the legendary, Philip Jones Griffith(Welsh photojournalist known for his coverage of the Vietnam war) who shared with Alice that we all have a choice in life. “You can cover a hell of a lot wide and shallow or you can cover a small number of things narrow and deep. Both are valid. But those who decide to do narrow and deep produce something that ultimately lasts.”

Since 2007 Alice has visited Haiti and lived there well for 2 years and for a long time, Alice wanted to interpret the Tarot Deck through her talent as a photographer, but taking ordinary pictures of the scenes seemed too simple. Her aim was to create a very personal deck of 78 cards without loosing the arcane meaning behind the deck. Then the idea entered Alice’s mind to combine three of my passions: the spiritual world, the Haitian culture and people as well as the philosophical reflections about the dualities in our world; in this case rich and poor.

In this interview with Alice we take a journey into the process and and final dream to bring an actual tarot deck alive through the people of Haiti.
