Jeanne Randolph, Prairie Modernist Noir 13 (2018 / 2020)

I remind you of the “Where’s Waldo?” collection.

The phone booth has been reduced to second-rate semi-outhouse status. Several decades later a style and function that had seemed so glamorous become invisible, with no allure whatsoever, and no more than a mere object. We watch so many utilitarian devices arriving on the market as the next big thing. Yet in retrospect the hype will have utterly dissolved.
