Tasseophotography (from
the word Tasseography—the
ancient art of reading tea leaves. Later this term
was applied to a divination or fortune-telling method
that interprets patterns in coffee grounds).
These photos are the visual manifestations of supposedly
psychic energies captured by the shapes and contours
of coffee sediments.
Interpreting the photos, a viewer is getting involved
in the process of reading a cup: someone’s fortune
and physiological state.
