The Book of Hours - Research Timeline

The Book of Hours is a contemporary re-imagining of a medieval book of hours. These were collections of exquisitely hand-illustrated religious readings and accompanying images. They were created in a handy size so they could be carried by the owner and read on a daily basis. This book of hours is secular but the general mood is contemplative and reflective. The poems can be read individually or as a story of growth and change throughout a year. The project is a combination of a collection of written poems and a film poem project, where each of the poems was made into a poetry film in collaboration with international filmmakers, which resulted in a website where the poetry films can be viewed by the public. This item contains a Research Timeline and Research Questions for the project.《时辰祈祷书（The Book of Hours）》是对中世纪时辰祈祷书的当代重构。中世纪时辰祈祷书是一类装帧精美、带有手绘插图的宗教读物与配套图像合集，其尺寸设计便携，可供持有者随身携行并每日诵读。本版《时辰祈祷书》虽为世俗主题，但整体氛围沉静内省。其中的诗作既可单独诵读，亦可作为串联全年成长与蜕变的叙事篇章。本项目融合了诗歌合集与影像诗创作计划：每首诗作均与国际影人合作制作诗歌影像，最终搭建了可供公众观看诗歌影像的专属网站。本数据集还包含该项目的研究时间线与研究问题。
