Collection of sketches by Jean-Pierre Martinez
Lost Time Chronicles is a playful yet thought-provoking collection of short, philosophical sketches blending absurdity, wistfulness, and a dash of existential humour. These miniature tales explore life’s big questions — the meaning of existence, the fragility of memory, the loops of time, the quirks of love, and the riddle of humanity itself.
On this journey, you’ll meet future archaeologists digging through our present, strangers hopelessly lost in the woods, robots spouting civic slogans, long-forgotten lovers, and even an intergalactic estate agent with one very unusual listing: planet Earth.
