PALIMPSESTE, 2010
urban intervention
(on 3 telephone booths)
white kraft paper, wallpaper glue
-----------
Endorsing the new “communicational” function which has been acquired by the telephone booth by systematism, as an image of the specter that affect this object in public space, by dressing it up in a white Kraft shroud. Last “legitimate” support of wild communication, the booth, erased, becomes here an invitation of free expression.
Inscribed booth, tagged, butchered, covered by posters three days after their travesty, scoured by France Télécom’s maintenance services a week later.
