String Phone Sculpture is the second of my public art interventions responding to the isolation and digital overload I felt during the first Covid-19 lockdown in London.
Following the Hey You - Yes You exchange with my opposite neighbours, I wondered how I could actually talk to them across the square?
Test and Preparation Phase
What started as only one phone reaching across the square, ended in an invitation to all neighbours to connect via a string phone. We installed 16 phones criss crossing the square spanning up to 60 meters. We played string phone whispers, watched artist Rubie Green perform a sound piece through one of the phones and cut the strings a the end at the count of three.
