Caution! Objects May Appear Larger in Your Memory!

The real telephone booth in the WUK courtyard will be replaced by a ca. 50 cm replica, a copy down to the last detail. The real booth is gone for the duration of the project. What is reality and how is it defined in our minds? What happens when we replace elements from our surroundings with a surrogate? How do we deal with a three-dimensional implant of reality on a mental level, which serves as a model and therewith—in ontological terms—represents a fake reality?
