Mmmh.
Must be some model of TARDIS in disguise.
The time flow inside is not monotonic.

Maybe Benedetto Bufalino? I saw a similar one by them at Lumiere Durham in 2013.

There’s something beautifully post-apocalyptic looking about it.

That seems like an odd thing to say about something that must require vast amounts of maintenance and attention to keep looking like that. I could barely keep up with the algae and fish poop when I had a five gallon aquarium. Though I might agree if it were a phone booth at the bottom of the ocean or something.

I wonder if they have temperature control. I’d be worried about slowly boiling them, but maybe that’s not much of a problem in Japan…

In fact, they depict the same phone box, against the same wall, and say that it’s in Nantes, not in Japan at all.

Dontcha know if its weird just say its japanese, then you can harvest those sweet sweet clicks.
