pors and rao


soren pors [danish] + aparna rao [indian]
"the uncle phone" [date 2004?], apparently "This two meter long phone was made to express the unique way that her uncle uses a regular telephone; it requires two people to operate- one to dial and another to speak." [source: a couple places on the internet that i'm not going to bother citing].
on first appearance this reminded me unequivocally of a south asian in a foreign land, recalling an immigrant's far-reaching connecting bridge to their parent nation.
there's also no denying some sort of phallic symbol analogy which i can't further explain as of yet.
