JEAN-PIERRE COUPÉ // Wifi

“Can't I be left alone?”
“I'm sorry, but if you don't want to be bothered then switch off your mobile phone”
“I will feel cut off if I switch it off”
“Stop complaining then!”
“Ok. Anyway it's nice to hear form you, what's up?”
“Nothing really, I get free top up for my mobile when I call telephone numbers ending with 8.”

"This project aims at exploring how the new technologies influence and change - by making everybody reachable anytime anywhere - the relations between people.
The phones on the crosses were ringing at each call, and their blue lights were transforming the area in a very strange “cemetery”. I had given the phone numbers to some friends who couldn’t travel to Cuneo but were given a chance to partecipate to the event this way."
