Missed call
2020 (Mexico City)
In a world where technology advances relentlessly, certain objects are left behind, becoming relics of a recent past. Telephone booths, once iconic symbols of urban communication, now stand as silent monuments to a fading era. This photographic project explores these booths across Mexico City—objects that continue to occupy public spaces, marked by traces of use, abandonment, or repurposing.
The series invites viewers to reflect on the relationship these booths once fostered with people and the urban environment, questioning their transformation over time. What happens when an object designed for connection loses its original function? Some booths have become canvases for graffiti, while others accumulate the remnants of fleeting human presence. Together, they stand as unchanging witnesses to the evolution of city life and societal shifts.
