wet clothes - bilbaoarte

The photographs and installations presented in "Wet Clothes", title and starting point of the visual research carried out during these 6 months in Bilbao, are a response to the architecture of the city and its interior domestic spaces. 


The recurring colors in the images of the red-and-white striped flags and the blue awnings of the vertical clotheslines are integrated into the facades of the buildings and form part of the identity of Bilbao.


The photographs invite us to explore the interior domestic spaces of the houses from the outside, questioning our location in space and revealing abstract geometrical shapes. The three-dimensional pieces made up of modified vertical clotheslines have been re-located in a white exhibition space to explore their structural features, moving our point of view, playing with the verticality and horizontality in which the objects are usually presented to us.
