Añadidura 3 presents deconstructed infrastructure photography—Bogotá lamppost allowed to display its component parts generating tangle of lines and knots that accumulate in layers. Rey transforms repetitive urban vertical element into complex compositional study where utilitarian function dissolves into abstract linear system. The work reveals hidden formal potential within mundane street furniture, creating new landscape through methodical deconstruction and layered accumulation of infrastructure's constituent elements.
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.”
