What sort of visual trickery is this? A farce involving massive LCD and Plasma displays, or perhaps drug induced figment of your imagination? As unreal as it may seem, artists Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino transformed a regular phone booth into an aquarium for the Lyon Light Festival in France. According to the artists: “With the advent of the mobile telephone, telephone booths lie unused. We rediscover this glass cage transformed into an aquarium, full of exotically coloured fish; an invitation to escape and travel.” I fully buy into their rationale, as it really does inspire me to travel to far off places, and hints towards the uselessness of telephone booths in a predominantly mobile age.
