1. "The Telephone Booth of Dreams" (Magritte + Dalí)
Amidst a vast, scorched war, stands a single glass telephone receiver. Inside it is Robert Wadlow. But he doesn't remain there: his feet, clad in oversized number 37 boots, will pierce the concrete floor and sink deep into the earth, like the roots of a baobab tree.
His head, by contrast, emerges through the roof of the phone booth, but up there, it transforms into a cloud. The phone receiver in his hand doesn't visit, but floats in the air, and the cord from it goes not into the phone but upward, tethering the cloud-head to the ground, lest it be blown away by the wind.
Meaning: He is too large for the everyday (the phone booth), but his thoughts (the cloud) exist separately from his body. The cord is the internal connection between his gigantism and human consciousness.667
