CALÇAS DE ATILHOS

Lacing is the gesture that used to close a corset; here it runs down the whole leg. These trousers aren’t fastened — they’re negotiated: every tie is a decision, and the bow stays visible because the knot is drawing too. Dressed in a hurry they sit one way; with patience, another. The piece changes with whoever ties it.

Under the game, discipline: the tie channels sewn from the inside, the anchor points reinforced so the pull doesn’t tear, the leg cut close so the web has somewhere to rest. The drawing asked for movement held captive; the construction makes sure captive doesn’t strangle. The AI rehearsed the crossings on screen; the needle confirmed the ones that survived.
