Perhaps dry closets are the last thing that comes to mind when thinking about art, but the team Refunc this did not bother at all, as a result of which a strange installation of blue booths, placed on the podium of one of the South African stadiums, appeared.
An unusual installation called "TOYLIT" is located at the Mmabatho stadium in the South African city of Mafikeng. When football matches are held at the stadium, in the intervals between the halves, spectators can witness an amazing spectacle: the dry closet booths, placed on one of the empty stands, begin to light up from the inside. But that's not all! A dancer appears from each booth and, accompanied by musical accompaniment, begins to move in the dark against the backdrop of glowing blue islands.
The installation, of course, was organized for a reason and not even with the aim of advertising these same dry closets. The main goal of the show is to combat the low occupancy rate of stadiums. Perhaps the organizers hope to attract additional viewers in such an original way. Or maybe, since there are no fans at the stadium anyway, they decided to take their place with an installation: both useful space does not disappear, and entertainment for the spectators who came.
The project is temporary and will last for several weeks. I would like to hope that the unusual installation will interest local residents and soon all the stands of the stadium will be filled with people, not dry closets, even if they are spectacular and luminous.

How the ladies of Victorian England secured access to public toilets
Victorian England at the same time fascinates with its desire to ennoble and decorate literally everything in life and terrifies the seamy side of this strange, elegant and sentimental world.

Toilet Paper Toilets: Budget Wedding Dresses Competition
It's no secret that a wedding is an expensive pleasure. The desire to make the wedding day special and memorable is reflected in the wallets of the newlyweds.
