Birth of the Telephone

Birth of the Telephone
Originating from footage of Thomas Watson relating the conception of the telephone, Birth of the Telephone distorts and challenges the simplicity of this account. We uncover a different type of birth occurring. Here is a device that, beneath the camouflage of instrumentality, raises questions about connection, anxiety and death.
