In the journal of the singer-songwriter Lula Pena, the reinvention of words (‘I didn’t find what I wanted in the dictionary’) is a condition for the reinvention of time (‘Sometimes one day is quite a lot and the eve of nothing much’). Written in a style that inquires into its own process, the text is made of sounds and images (‘graphic and phonographic remains’). Lula Pena writes, ‘Sounds are launched on the adventure of the written word and its verbal explorations, scouting for listeners’. This is the purpose of our ‘Book of Hours’, where time is the board for a game in which the only winners are those willing to bet everything.
