The Time Keeping House

Joana Imaginário

“In a house where library, museum, and workshops are mixed, the restorer goes through closed and secret rooms and creates the book that will save all the others. Because one day books get sick. In the house, everyone tries to save them, but they end up leaving, and the restorer, followed by the watchmen, becomes the keeper of the book where she puts together several pieces of what she managed to save. She is about to give up when the book restorer tells the story, passing it from hand to hand, triggering a new need to create and restarting a new cycle.”
