Installed on the rooftop of Casa Wabi Sabino in Mexico<\/a><\/strong> City\u2019s Atlampa neighborhood, Tendedero (Clothesline) by Brenda Isabel P\u00e9rez and Israel Espin reinterprets the domestic act of hanging clothes as an architectural and artistic intervention. The work connects urban space, materiality, and social critique through a minimal yet deliberate design strategy.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The installation<\/a><\/strong> consists of four parallel metal cables stretched across the rooftop, anchored with steel<\/a><\/strong> counterweights. Suspended from these lines are twelve linen canvases measuring 2.5 \u00d7 1.5 meters each. The system establishes a balance between the rigidity of the steel structure and the lightness of the semi-transparent fabric<\/a><\/strong>. As the canvases respond to wind and movement, the installation becomes dynamic, creating shifting spatial thresholds for visitors to move through. By occupying the rooftop, the project reclaims a transitional zone historically associated with domestic labor and care work, often carried out by women and largely overlooked within urban and economic frameworks. Through its spatial configuration, Tendedero makes this labor visible, situating it within both architectural discourse and collective experience.<\/p>\n all images by Andr\u00e9s Cedillo unless stated otherwise<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The intervention interacts with Alberto Kalach\u2019s architectural design for Casa Wabi Sabino, complementing its structural clarity while introducing a new layer of permeability and rhythm. The linen surfaces generate ephemeral enclosures, producing moments of transparency and opacity that alter perspective and scale. The act of walking among the fabrics recalls both the repetitiveness of daily domestic work and its metaphorical dimensions, relating to cycles of care, repair, and renewal that sustain the social fabric.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The enlarged scale of the clothesline transforms an everyday household object into an inhabitable structure. This shift repositions the domestic as a critical spatial territory, one through which the city is shaped and social relationships are negotiated. Through Tendedero installation<\/a><\/strong>, artists<\/a><\/strong> Espin and P\u00e9rez explore the intersection of art, architecture, and urbanism, proposing a reconsideration of dwelling and domestic labor as integral to the cultural and material fabric of the city.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n image by Alum G\u00e1lvez<\/p>\n image by Alum G\u00e1lvez<\/p>\n image by Alum G\u00e1lvez<\/p>\n Architects and artists Brenda Isabel P\u00e9rez and Israel Espin image by Alum G\u00e1lvez<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n name:<\/strong>\u00a0Tendedero (Clothesline)<\/a> design team:<\/strong> Cristian Camacho, Gersain Aquino, Liliana Coronado, Marbet Salazar-Bernal<\/p>\n textiles:<\/strong> Sistema So\u00f1ar, Itzel S\u00e1nchez Hern\u00e1ndez<\/p>\n curator:<\/strong> Dakin Hart<\/p>\n dates:<\/strong> July 12th to September 27, 2025<\/p>\n photographer:<\/strong> Alum G\u00e1lvez | @alum_galvez<\/a>,\u00a0ESPACIOS \u2013 Andres Cedillo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0@_andrescedillo<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n designboom has received this project from our\u00a0DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n The post tendedero reframes housework through large-scale fabric installation in mexico city<\/a> appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brenda Isabel P\u00e9rez and Israel Espin install Tendedero in Mexico \u00a0 Installed on the rooftop of Casa Wabi Sabino in Mexico City\u2019s Atlampa neighborhood, Tendedero (Clothesline) by Brenda Isabel P\u00e9rez and Israel Espin reinterprets the … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nquotidian clothesline transforms into large-scale installation<\/h2>\n
