Kiosk 2008 is an installation about the construction and evolution of character of urban spaces and a fantasy about futuristic urban equipment.

It is inspired in an iconic image of London, the British public telephone kiosk - the Red Telephone Box - which will probably lose its purpose in the near future due to recent massive changes in communication habits and devices. The public telephone kiosk is also an iconic image all around the world since Clark Kent started changing into Superman inside one.

Kiosk 2008 proposes a teletransport to the representation of four identifiable landscapes – Sea, Desert, Forest and Lavender Fields. The installation is a three minute experience of sight, hearing, smell and touch with an arbitrary selection of atmosphere.

Kiosk 2008 is about our perception of the world and the correlations we establish. It is, however, mainly a fantasy on the persistent duality of the attraction for urban life and the desire for evasion.
