Jimena Hogrebe Rodríguez's Embroidered Sections Pay Tribute to the Architectural Cut

Jimena Hogrebe Rodríguez has crafted four textile works at Universidad Anáhuac México and UNAM, celebrating architecture. Accompanied by photographs from Pablo Astorga and an introductory text, the project is titled El hilo que ocupa, el hilo que habita. It employs cutting as a creative narrative tool, depicting various individuals coming together in communities. The accompanying text references children's fascination with dollhouses and German Wimmelbücher. Techniques akin to these were utilized by Wes Anderson in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) and The Darjeeling Limited (2007). The HBO Voyeur Project (2007) revealed narratives behind walls, while Gordon Matta-Clark's Splitting (1974) made cuts tangible. Architectural sections have long been used to analyze structures, as noted in Jacques Guillerme and Hélène Vérin's works from 1989 and 2016.
