Cologne, Germany. 2021
Call Me To Love Me
This was taken in Cologne in November 2021. I was trying to find some brutalist churches that I'd researched so got the tram across the city. On the way back from the corner of my eye I spied this kiosk sitting in the park so jumped off that tram and bounced over the road to inspect it. My delighted peepers found this scrawled message on the handset from some presumably love-struck person who felt the need to leave this thought for the rest of the city to see. In my mind, it's a young girl who's fallen in love for the first time but maybe it's a young guy that's dealing with unrequited love. Who knows, but we've all probably felt emotions that were similar at some part of our lives.
Telephone Booths is a continuation of my debut series 'Hand Dryers'. Both series capture the everyday objects surrounding us that we fail to notice to examine what they say about us and the way we treat the world around us.
