The Festival of Lights in France makes a phone booth in an aquarium

The Festival of Lights in Lyon, France is a very traditional celebration and emotional, which incidentally originated after the survival of the French population to the closest thing we have lived the zombie holocaust . Each year the city is adorned with night lighting in each window of each household to celebrate the warmth of that date. One thing is also common to find small details, facilities, monuments that remind us that the celebration is approaching to wonder , as here, where people are walking down the street and suddenly finds a phone booth turned into aquarium .

This surreal artwork was created by the lighting designer Benoit Deseille and conceptual artist Benedetto Bufalino. The idea of this extraordinary facility they came from a reflection on new media:

With the advent of mobile phone boxes were no longer used, now lie deserted and rediscover this glass cage transformed into an aquarium full of colorful fish and exotic, like an invitation to escape from here and travel.

This reinterpretation of the traditional phone booth is one of the craziest things I've seen and melancholy. This type of space and look like an abandoned place, that seems inappropriate for modern times, see the cabin and converted into aquarium does not inspire me to travel, but it fascinates me, look at night is a whole different show, lighting is vibrant and makes the aquarium in a spot of light that can be seen many blocks away.

In fact this car has become a sensation in the city, locals and tourists always visit and even longer to keep talking even after the end of festivities.
