Old phone | The Tribunal
While we're down in the basement of the ICTY, and specifically in the space that holds the old generator, I thought it could be interesting to show this. This is the kind of photo that, perhaps even more than the one of the old generator, speaks of a world that was very different than today's.
I'm not thinking of the fact that there's a sort of phone kiosk or station on the wall. In a technical room. Inhabited pretty much only by a massive diesel beast. I'm thinking of the fact that when the building was constructed in the 1950s such a thing had to be put up as well because it just went with a telephone.
I doubt very much that it had anything to do with the noise level that would have been heard in this room when the generator was running. This – sounds, or rather their absence – is another aspect that I like about this photo. The noises which once inhabited this space, be it from the generator or from the technicians who placed calls from this kiosk.
From my project The Tribunal, which I made during my last years at the ICTY to show the great diversity of this amazing institution. The full project can be accessed on my site below.
