Los Angels, California
“PHONE BOOTH” | Interactive Installation
A full-scale phone booth, sculpted entirely out of reclaimed cardboard and painted in black and white style that recalls vintage animation. The phone booth is a ghost from a bygone era, the pre-cell phone world in which there were private spaces within public places. Viewers are invited to engage directly with the sculpture, stepping inside and having a private moment within. The effect is surreal yet somehow familiar. A commentary on our modern culture, Dosshaus continues the tradition of Pop Art by engaging serious cultural questions in a fun and whimsical way.
