British Telecom, the country’s largest telephone company, estimates it removes
150,000 sex calling cards each month from 700 booths in the capital. If you walk by or step into one of these phone boxes you would think it is rather a sex shop than a public phone box. "stick a tick" is a graphical intervention for everybody. It gives people the possibility to react and to do something against the littering of phone boxes with sex calling cards. The sticky bag contains six different body stickers, in different sizes and styles of dresses. The idea of "stick a tick" is to dress and cover up the girls on the sex calling cards and to leave a message behind. It will encourage people through a funny action not to let this behavior go unchallenged and to stick a statement. On the one hand, these statements turn on the people behind these cards to work against them in a peaceful way. On the other hand, they are thought-provoking for the target. Who or what is behind all this?
