Lighting designer Benoit Deseille and artist Benedetto Bufalino transformed this phone booth in Lyon, France, into an aquarium, as p
art of the city's annual Festival of Light. In an accompanying statement, the artists explain the inspiration behind the piece:
“With the advent of the mobile telephone, telephone booths lie unused. We rediscover this glass cage transformed into an aquarium, full of exotically colored fish; an invitation to escape and travel.”
It's a creative way to transform disused infrastructure into an everyday source of wonder and beauty—or, if you're of a more pessimistic frame of mind, a vision of our climate-changed future.

This piece is very creative. Taking something that normally people don't think even think about and making a home for fish.
This is awesome. I love how something that is kind of obsolete to us (a phone booth) is turned into something everyone recognized (the aquarium).
