The title of the work is based on a song by Talk Talk a musical group of the 80s, in whose music video the iconic English telephone booth appeared. The piece exhibited here and reworked by Vitale is a vintage purchase made at London's Portobello Road Market, one of the most famous street markets in the world. Here the artist combines pop culture, a passion for collecting and memories of an eccentric combination where flashes of color enhance the recovered object. Mixed technique: Iron, plastic, wood and acrylic. Support on a wooden panel.
