recompose 2021 – onwards, is a tarot reading led by artist Caitlin Franzmann. By engaging with a deck of hand drawn divination cards, audiences are invited to attune to the understory of a forest, its leaf litter, humus, microbes, and symbiotic entanglements as analogies for personal and collective guidance. Learning from decay and regeneration, Franzmann draws our attention to nature’s great ‘decomposers’ — the fungi, bacteria, earthworms and insects which play a critical role in the metabolism of ecosystem health and nature’s carbon cycles.
Book to join Caitlin for a reading, each experience is unique and guided by the artist.
This work is presented as part of These Entanglements: Ecology After Nature.
This is a free participatory experience and places are limited. If you can no longer attend, please let us know so that we can offer someone else the opportunity.

Caitlin Franzmann is a Brisbane based artist who works with installation, sound, performance, and community-based projects.

By creating thoughtful and engaging experiences in galleries and public spaces, she fosters conversation and reflection on local histories, ecosystems, and environmental issues.
