O Meu Avô


My Grandad
2014


   

My grandad used to have a clock shop. Now he has a lot of free time. Mr. Wright is not a watchmaker (though he always has one eye on the time) and he never wastes a minute. A small format book on modern times, sprinkled generously with artistic references from Jacques Tati, the French director, to Fernando Pessoa, the Portuguese poet.
