"Piece for a Suit and a Floor" is an audio installation documenting a performance using a black hand sewn suit and a small piece of a wooden floor. Its presentation consists of the floor in question being hooked to audio exciters, a mixer amplifying the sound, and a small phone screen playing the video of the performed dance routine.

The performer is conducting a semi improvised dance routine making use of the wavy fabric to draw attention to the performative action of simple movement. While performing, the movements of the artist's feet against the wooden flooring are being recorded and amplified through contact microphones, thus the only audible sound is that of body against the floor.

Combining the audio recording with one of many hand sewn costumes and its subsequent use in a body focused performance, the artist is exercising the fundamentals of sound creation and its relation to human body. The consequence of a predicted action and its minimal focus provide a very fundamental glimpse into mystifying the ordinary, beautifying the boring, telling the casual in an extraordinary manner.

Presented during a group exhibition "How to build a House, Step I; Foundation", the piece is part of an ongoing research into intriguing sound libraries collected from simple domestic circumstances.
