Art Installation at Bus Shelter in Dubai, UAE - In December 2020

A giant Sanyo M-1700F mini boombox was part of a series of Art Installations at Bus Shelters in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in December 2020, called Jumeirah Project.

 

It should come with a giant BIC pen to wind the tape back into the cassette

 

and Bus Stop looks like Space Station terminal, amazing!!!

 

The bus stop is airconditioned as well.

 

When visiting my birthplace (Motherland?!?) in Alma-Ata (capital of Kazakhstan, then renamed as Almaty, then Astana, now Nur-Sultan) I spent a few hours at a bus stop there in 1983... the only similarity was one section of The Wall as here but with a sign “restroom”. I asked my fellow traveler about the meaning and got a stare as if I am stupid: “you go behind the wall to do your thing!”
This bus stop is from ‘1001 Nights’ fairy tales
And no graffiti over Art Installation??? Even here&now in Malibu it is a Must!!!

sorry about misplaced response: at my fav chatroom of Naim Audio crowd there is a "padded cell" section to where it seems I am going...

 

I could not find many photos of this artwork so far.

If not for the COVID-19 restrictions, I would have gone to this place and taken photos myself. It is 120km away from the place where I live, and there are restrictions for movement to go there now.

 

Well, if they have nothing else to display... Cannot have statues or portraits in Muslim countries. Does the radio work? The cassette, obviously, does not.
