Event Details

Dreams don’t just look forward; they often look back. Telephone taps into this nostalgia, inviting you to step away from your mobile screen and reconnect with a slower form of communication.

Approach one of several retro UK telephone booths and dial the dream line. A recording will prompt you to leave a message. You’ll have 30 seconds to share a dream, name an intention or simply leave an earnest message for someone special.

These iconic booths, reminiscent of Doctor Who’s TARDIS, are a portal to the past and a call to connect with the present moment.

Telephone invites you to step away from your mobile phone and rediscover the warmth of intentional, intimate communication.

Every week a collection of dreams will be selected and displayed on screens across the Vivid Sydney footprint.
