Stéphane Fedorowsky is a surrealist photographer, specializing in analog photography. His new series, inspired by the Marseille Tarot, marks a bold fusion of his artistic heritage and the digital realm.
His work captivates with overflowing imagination combined with exceptional technical mastery, inviting the viewer to dive into a dreamlike universe. Each shot is an invitation to escape, an exploration of the deepest corners of the human soul.
Through his photographs, Stéphane Fedorowsky transports us to a world imbued with mystery, where the boundaries between dream and reality harmoniously blur. His sublime compositions and expert manipulation of light make each image a work of art.
I've discovered the wide universe of photography upside down. During my first year of art school in Paris, I've learned how to develop an image before knowing how to use a camera. The atmosphere, the face to face with oneself, the red light made me feel like I was a mad scientist in a laboratory. I've instantaneously started to experiment and began to make ‘Portraits’. While doing so, I was trying to reveal a form of hidden truth about my model hoping that he would learn something about himself when he saw the finished picture, while I was learning about myself at the same time. The darkroom became a sanctuary, a key space for my artistic creation, moving beyond capturing moments through photography, to the creative process of developing and processing prints. Using techniques such as solarization, superimposition, and rayographs, each of my image underwent metamorphoses to become unique prints.
Fedorowsky's photographs are instantly recognizable, the unique style he has forged is reflected today in all its maturity through his recent works. His Marseille Tarot marks an important milestone in his career.
"When I met Stéphane in 2022, he immediately told me about his Photographic Tarot project that he had conceptualized years earlier. A few months later, we gathered to relaunch its production, redefining its technical and artistic framework. Ideas often evolve, but they are never as good as in their original formulation. Stéphane had rediscovered the essence of his project. A year later, the first editions of this new series could come to fruition." - Anthony Morabito

Discover the photographic reinterpretation of the Marseille Tarot through the lens of Stéphane Fedorowsky.. The ancient art of Tarot continues to feed the imagination of visual artists. The idea of a photographic adaptation sprouted in the photographer's mind two decades ago and, under the guidance of Morabito Art, took shape after a fruitful year of production.
