Entrelazar 6 transforms abstract urban sculpture from photographic study into three-dimensional wall installation—deconstructed Bogotá lamppost parts becoming physical object. Rey extends the series' investigation beyond image, allowing infrastructure's tangled lines, knots, and accumulated points to occupy actual space. The sculpture materializes new landscape system as concrete form, where vertical urban element's displayed parts create physical presence rather than photographic representation, emphasizing infrastructure's potential as artistic medium.
The series, Entrelazar, is based on the selection of an urban element, the lamppost: a vertical element that rises above the urban landscape and is repeated in the city of Bogotá. The artist carries out the study where he allows the object to display its parts and generate a tangle of lines, knots, and even points that accumulate in layers to create a new landscape system.”
