Reading by an Artist adopts the technique of the Purple Star Astrology (Zi Wei Dou Shu, 紫微斗数), a metaphysical philosophy dating back to imperial China, to forecast events in the life of invited participants and shed light on their challenges.

The performance artwork is akin to a metaphysical portrait captured in long exposure, without the usual photographic apparatus of a camera and the end product of a photograph. In each session, a ‘likeness’ of the sitter, reminiscent to a print being developed in the darkroom, gradually comes into sharper focus as one obtains clarity of the intrinsic qualities in one’s life and the constellation of choices
which shapes them.

Each reading will be approximately 30 minutes. Participants are requested to bring 3 specific questions, kindly prepare these in advance. Please arrive on time.
