In the open air old village's museum of Sirogojno every thing is othentique , old and traditional... Everythink exept the phone box. I take this object like a symbol of our socity.

In this traditional old village's museum the phone box is the most modern thing. The contrast is huge compar to traditional objects. But today everyone have his own mobile phone in his pocket and no one use those old phone box.  In a way the phone box is old and in an other it's new... the question was: what is modern in our fast world?

Playing with this idea, I build two phone boxes suitable in the traditional museum.  They look like huts made with wood and branches. You can call each of theme thanks to a basic system of two pots conected with a yarn. 

Whene you are playing with it you remember the time that you had a phone card in your wallet and you had to find a phone box in the street to call. But today the new generation don't anderstand why we still have those phone box in the street.
