Thermodielectric plot

In this visual essay, the maker uses ego documents to delve into the adventurous, relatively short life of her grandfather Joaquim da Costa Ribeiro, a pioneer in experimental physics in Brazil in the middle of the last century. He discovered the phenomenon of thermodielectrics: 'something to do with lightning', as childishly explained to his granddaughter.
