Phone Booth

Více o knize

An archeological object without conservationists, the phone booth exists as a memory to those over thirty - and as a strange, curious, and dysfunctional occupier of public space for those under thirty. This book approaches the phone booth as an entity that, in its myriad manifestations in different parts of the world, embodies a cluster of attitudes concerning privacy, freedom, power, sanctuary, and communication. Playing off of varied surfaces - literature, film, personal narrative, philosophy, and religion - Phone Booth looks at the place of an object on the cusp of obsolescence.
