[The Necessery Precondition] is a water-pumping device, which reverses the logic of the objects in use. A generator pumps water through a hose into a rubber boot hanging from the ceiling. The boot operates as a showerhead letting the water sprinkle through its soles. Hence, the artist reverses the logic of the rubber boot to protect feet from water and instead turns it into a permeable device that questions the traditional use of objects.
