An artist's edition in the form of a thirty-two-card tarot deck. Jean-Christophe Ballot wanted to pair each of his views of Issy - where legend says the Egyptian goddess Isis once had a temple - with a divinatory tarot card, a singular experiment given that photography too is a matter of printing and revelation, a double unveiling.
