Benedetto Bufalino turns phone booth into a 'mobile phone' vehicle
French artist Benedetto Bufalino has transformed a telephone booth into a mobile vehicle, playing on the term 'mobile phone'. The work was created for the 2017 edition of l'AFIAC, an event held in Fiac, southern France. Bufalino, known for ironic works like disco cement mixers and ping-pong tables on overturned cars, previously turned phone booths into aquariums in Nantes and London in 2016. The project updates a disused object for contemporary needs, documented in a short video.
