Jay DeFeo (19291989) and Bruce Conner (19332008) had that kind of telephone talk marathon a listener feels present at, despite time and place making such an experience impossible. It endures in its strangeness, having been imitated by a photograph of Conners telephone dial, to which Defeo responded by a sending of one of his body photos with the dial stuck on: about which he writes: I had become the telephone. But we hear it, savor it, and applaud Bruce Conner for memorializing it five years after her death.
