URBAN INTERVENTIONS - COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN

This exquisitely crafted masonry mobile phone lies camouflaged on the sidewalk of City Rd. Darlington. Chances are you've walked passed it countless times and not noticed it; perhaps this is part of the anonymous author's intentions... to concretise the breakdown of communication? To surrealistically explore the separation of word and image? Or is it the physical manifestation of a messy break-up played out over the phone?

Conjecture aside, this intervention enhances an otherwise derelict urban environment through sophisticated subtlety and jestful provocation, but blink and you will miss it.
