Description:

This story was initially conceived to be published in Portugal in the year 2000. The plot is set in Lisboa, by the mouth of the river Tejo, halfway between some time in the past and a vague future. Jau, the biologist, is pursued by two clerks of her boss, because she refuses to collaborate in the project of a transgenic fish. In meanwhile, Palmyra is keeping a record of the events. The choice of materials, paper Canson mi-teintes chanvre clair and black and white Caran d’Ache wax crayons, was intended to give depth and texture to a grayscale print, but it is presented here in color.
