France Telecom cabine (phone booth) in Post Office Square, Wellington, NZ

Description[edit]

Two telephone booths - a French one in Post Office Square plays anonymous sounds of life and nature in Corsica, while on the opposite side of the world, a New Zealand booth in Ajaccio, Corsica, plays sounds from New Zealand. The mirrored floor and ceiling give the illusion of a tunnel drilled through the earth the earth to Corsica. Donated to Wellington by Collectivité Territoriale de Corse.[1]
