"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."
The Artist Benedetto Bufalino designed this work for the Lyon Light Festival with help from lighting designer Benoit Deseille.
I think this one of the best public artworks I have seen in a long time. Although I might not use the word exotic to describe goldfish even if it is used to describe the color. It is a great example of using an existing object and transforming it into something different without changing it from it from its original context.
