In addition to an elaborately crafted piece of clothing - a colorful jacket made of leftover materials such as raffia, plastic, and strips of fabric - the work also includes a cabin that uses mirrored surfaces to invite visitors to move around inside it with the jacket. Here, as the name of the work suggests, textile textures and sounds form the main interest: Microphones and sensors are built into the garment as well as the booth. The interaction with the space is intended to stimulate curiosity, because it is only through haptic investigation and the use of the body that the acoustic level unfolds.
