Interactive installation at Atlanta arts centre celebrates play and collaboration
Mexican artist-designers Héctor Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena have placed 40 red metal-frame houses outside the Woodruff Arts Center campus in Atlanta as part of an interactive installation designed to promote play
A series of striking red metal-frame structures in the shape of houses, each one strung with its own hammock, forms part of a new art installation in the grounds of the Woodruff Arts Center campus in Atlanta, USA.
The interactive art project, called Mi Casa-Your Casa is by Mexican artist-designers Héctor Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena, and was conceived to promote play.
As well as hammocks, which are stung diagonally across red metal-frame structures, the installation includes swings, easels, bins of chalk, and buckets of bubble water.
The installation will also be used for drama performances and the houses can also be used as areas for reading.
The name of the installation relates to the shape of the metal frame houses: Mi Casa-Your Casa, is a play on the familiar Spanish saying 'Mi casa es su casa,' which means 'My home is your home.'
