Recycling of materials: aquarium in a phone booth
Aquarium French designer Benoit Deseille and artist Benedetto Bufalino is perhaps one of the most amazing and environmentally friendly transformation of the phone booth, which ever saw the world. Since the last time the phones were used less, and their disposal is a costly event, people and entire organizations transform outdated communication systems in everything from libraries, to points of access Wi-Fi.
This unusual telephone booth aquarium installed in Lyon as part of the town's annual Festival of light. During this festival the locals put candles on all the window sills, thanks to Bo-horticu for the salvation of the city from the plague in 1643.
Among other things, the artists in this unusual eco-friendly installations have addressed the problem of lack of live communication in the modern world. Fish from distant countries — the image of the traveler, who want to hear the voices of those who wait for him in his native country. And the old phone like nothing else we associate with the ability to call home and talk to family. Of course, the phone box was sealed so it was dripping water, and no one could open it by accident. And this is not the first time the phone turned into something interesting: in new York a few phone boxes have become mini libraries.
