“Not a Number”





This code-based moving image project explores the afterlife of the iconic red UK phone booths.⁠

Once a symbol of UK communication and identity, they have evolved into passive repositories of human presence, bearing the marks of ads, graffiti, and ephemeral tourist interactions.⁠

Process

By integrating both analogue and digital tools—such as hand drawing and coding with ChatGPT—I developed a visual language that isolates phone booths from their surroundings and redefines their function.






Conceptual mockup

Using footage from the ‘Thin Air’ exhibition,

I imagined a space where holographic phone

booths invite visitors to explore their form,

texture, and lingering human traces.
