Weird Aquariums – The Phone Booth Aquarium

phone-booth-aquarium-20090104What do you do with an unused phone booth?
If you go with the installation done by Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino, as part of the Lyon Light Festival, you would turn it into an aquarium (what were they thinking? fishes making long distance calls?)

It’s great as a conversation piece however as you would no doubt agree.
According to the creators however, it is more than a conversation piece, it’s also a statement:

“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.”
