Since transforming a cement mixer truck into a disco on wheels back in 2016, Bufalino has continued to create unique urban interventions out of cars, phone booths, and other vehicles and objects from daily life. While some of his creations are meant to be observed as structures (like his modified aquariums), others are built to be used. More

Der französische Künstler Benedetto Bufalino hat bekanntlich sehr viel Freude daran, Gegenständen aus seinem Alltag frisches Leben einzuhauchen. Seit geraumer verpasst der gute Mann nun schon Autos, Fahrrädern, Baggern, Zementmischern, oder Telefonzellen neue Aufgaben z.B. als Aquarium, Diskokugeln, Tischtennisplatte, Grill und sonstigen Whotnots. Zuletzt flashte uns Bufalino bekanntlich mit einem unkonventionellen Pizza-Ofen, welchen er aus einem alten Ford Mondeo bastelte und einer Pommes-Bude aus einem roten Fiat Coupé! Passend zu den aktuellen Temperaturen in unseren Gefilden, hat der gute Mann jüngst einen Pool gebaut …in einen Omnibus!

Reclaiming a disused technology, Benedetto Bufalino and Benoit Deseille conceived their phone booth aquarium project as a response to rapidly changing modes of communication. Installation artist Bufalino (who has been known to use live animals in his work on multiple occasions) and lighting designer Deseille have been collaborating on the illuminated fish tanks since 2007, when the duo premiered their first aquarium phone booth at Lyon's Fete Des Lumieres. The aquariums have popped up at other festivals around Europe since then and were recently shown at the Lumiere Festival in Durham, UK in November, 2013. Bufalino and Deseille envisioned the project as "an invitation to investigate and travel," as they said in their artist statement. Or perhaps, it came as a natural evolution of the electronic vestiges left behind as cell phone technology continues to evolve. See more after the jump.

Thanks to French artist Benedetto Bufalino, you can now dance the night away at a construction site turned night club with the help of his new Diso Ball Cement Mixer. The truck was parked from December 8-10 in Lyon, France where bright spotlights pointed at the truck turned the streets and building facades into swirling dance party. The spectacle apparently grabbed the attention of quite a few passersby who stopped to take photos and film the otherwise mundane work site that was transformed for a few hours each night. More
