About this work

Description

The legs and feet of a young man amid many telephones scattered on the floor, as he attempts to make yet another phone call; suggesting the value of Berliner AIDS-Hilfe's helpline as a "one-stop shop", or one sufficient source of information. All the telephones are landlines (i.e. not mobile), some of them with cordless receivers
