More information
The artist set up an active land line connected to a prison in the lobby of a museum. A toll-free number was given to hundreds of prisoners across Spain to that they could speak directly to visitors, who were free to take the calls or not. Shortly after the opening, the prison authorities blocked the toll-free numbers. The reasons for the refusal are unknown, but we can deduce that the prison authority doesn’t like that prisoners can express themselves publicly.

La artista instaló una línea telefónica activa conectada a una prisión en el vestíbulo de un museo. Se proporcionó un número gratuito a cientos de prisioneros en toda España para que pudieran hablar directamente con los visitantes, quienes eran libres de responder o no a las llamadas. Poco después de la apertura, las autoridades penitenciarias bloquearon los números gratuitos. Las razones del rechazo son desconocidas, pero podemos deducir que a la autoridad penitenciaria no le gusta que los prisioneros puedan expresarse públicamente.

L'artista va instal·lar una línia telefònica activa connectada a una presó en el vestíbul d'un museu. Es va proporcionar un número gratuït a centenars de presoners a tota Espanya perquè poguessin parlar directament amb els visitants, els quals eren lliures de respondre o no a les trucades. Poc després de la inauguració, les autoritats penitenciàries van bloquejar els números gratuïts. Les raons del rebuig són desconegudes, però podem deduir que a l'autoritat penitenciària no li agrada que els presoners puguin expressar-se públicament.
