DescriptionONCE Series: Once upon a time recalls nostalgic items and issues. It references a time in our collective past that is impossible to recreate, but remains important to remember. Here, Belmar worked with themes of time, change and movement, sometimes ironically and humorously.
"ONCE Types" is an homage to typewriters and to the invention of the writing machine and language.
