Clothing, art & textile innovation

← Performance & installation archive

Iowa Museum

This was a performance heavily based on sound. 47 of the 60 sets of clothing that were attached to my body had contact microphones attached to the cords that suspended them. The weight of the clothing cold suspend me just above the floor. During the performance my movements created sound. The sound was simultaneously recorded and played through the speakers creating a denser and denser sound as time passed. I slowly cut each cord and released my self from the strings that held me suspended.
