The Books of Hours are medieval illuminated manuscripts. Each book has a collection of texts, prayers and salms appropriated for certain schedules. As Horas do Douro is inspired in this medieval idea of inventory and annual registry and it shows the cycle of the wine and the vineyard and how it determines the life of the people of this region. What we want to show, by the recognition of the landscape changes throughout the different seasons of the year, is that this vineyard is a work of men, that the wine it’s a human thing and that’s the way it must be shown.
