The Floor was produced by traditional painting and varnishing techniques. The floor surface was coated with crystal floor paint, before the photos were placed in a certain order on every single piece, and then a last layer of the transparent paint was reapplied. With more than 3000 photos, the work contours the everydayness defined by the artist. Back in 2003, the solo exhibition of SONG entitled The Floor - Life is Wonderful was staged, for which the artist wrote a piece of text. It is precisely these words that portray generally the sectional plane of the photographing process of this very piece, despite being nagging, trifling, blunt and even someway rather baffling. The installation conveys on one hand grave concerns, sensitivity and an impulsion over life, and on the other an understanding which is unadorned, mild and genuine.
