Public Phones in Salvador
During our Shapeshifters World Tour we had recently been visiting
the city of Salvador in Brazil. This is an observation I would like
to share with you here: In some parts of Salvador you can see phone
booths that look e.g. like coconut shells or drums. The city commissioned
an artist to design these phone booths. I wish we would have more of that
kind of thinking in Austria where every phone booth just looks the same.
And it made reminded me that every kind of object in a city landscape can
be a stage for local designers or artists.
