"The Somnia Tarot" - 78 Image Photography Series - by Nicolas Bruno

- I’ve recreated the entirety of The Tarot in my own style and interpretation through photography, sculpture, and costume design. I started this project in the beginning of the pandemic to keep myself motivated and creating in uncertain times.
I studied the meanings behind the classic Rider Waite Tarot deck, along with the Jungian analysis of each card to uncover archetypes and symbolism. I combined these meanings with the accounts from my dream journals, where I document my experiences with Sleep Paralysis. I tell the story of the Tarot through the characters and symbols within my dream journal recordings.
I began sketching the series for a month straight. This allowed me to pinpoint my ideas and figure out what props/costumes/characters I needed to create for the photoshoots. I then accumulated my materials and started fabricating.
I started shooting in early March 2020, and finished shooting in November 2020. Everything that you see within the images happened in front of my camera. All of the male characters within the series are self portraits, and the female characters are family and close friends. This was one of the most challenging projects that I've ever done.

I am late to the party, but have been obsessed with getting this deck for so long. Now it's on the way. This is a true work of art. Just perfect!!
This is cinema
Absolutely stunning and inspiring! This series concept was a perfect amalgamation of your work imo. Well done again!
Thank you so much Matt!
I just received this deck in the mail today. Thank you for the expedient shipping and the lovely way in which you carefully prepared and packaged everything. It is a beautiful deck! I love the photography and the juxtaposition of the real against the surreal. It's just amazing. I really hope that you do another tarot deck sometime in the near future. Your work is superb.
There are seventy-eight cards that I really lOVE so they make me feel like I'm living hell and going to heaven in the same time.
Native Long Islander here! Your decks speak to me and I love working with them. Absolutely unique and brilliant. In this world but not of it...

Rozando la Excelencia!..
Ese tarot pega con mi alma..
I Want!!..🖤🍂
Very deep
And you sir, are going to be my artist for GCSE
Sómnia is my cat's name 🥺 Beautiful song and such inspiring photos!!!
Stunning imagery. In terms of tarot, some bring new interpretations which I find provocative and interesting (e.g., Emperor). Definitely will purchase this deck.
Some of my favorite images/inspirations/interpretations: Empress; Strength (BEST!), Fortune, Moon, Three of Cups, Two of Wands.
My one hesitation: the interpretation of *my* card (Queen of Wands) seems to be the darkest in the entire deck -- a demon, a witch, evil. Disturbing.
Thank you so much! In the future, I might be releasing some "booster cards" that are revisions of some of the cards in the set. I will keep your criticism in mind for the Queen of Wands.
I canceled a Kickstarter because I had to pre-order this deck because it is absolutely stunning
Stunningly beautiful, poignant-and seriously creepy.
Lovvvvvvvvvvvvve.
This artwork is just incredible. Just came across it and ordered a tarot deck. Can't wait to have it here. Is it possible to purchase the song somewhere?
Beautiful work Nicolas !!
You captured very deep essences of the Tarot !!
Congratulations on the job.
Are you a tarot reader too?
Greetings
Hi, any idea when you will be able to ship to the UK? Many thanks 😊
when will your deck be available to purchase?
Fucking amazing.
Is this song available on anything to listen to?
"The Somnia Tarot Theme" was composed by a talented friend of mine named Richard Orofino. I commissioned him to create the song. You can find his music on all streaming platforms. The song itself is not available on streaming platforms at the moment, but it may be released in the future!
@@NicolasBruno it’s an insane piece of work yours and his combined! Love the set!
@@NicolasBruno and thanks so much for the response!
Hola quisiera saber si se puede adquirir este tarot
Se puede adquirir en la página somniatarot.com
В видео фотографии смотрятся лучше чем на картах. На картах фото темнее. На том же шуте фиг что рассмотришь. Так долго их ждала, лёгкое разочарование 😢
