The absence of human #13 captures overhead empty streets photography where urban arteries designed for constant vehicular flow stand completely still and silent. Rey's elevated viewpoint reveals how city planning revolves entirely around movement—lanes, crosswalks, signals—all infrastructure rendered purposeless without cars and pedestrians. This work exposes invisible auditory disruption: by photographing streets absent of honking and engine rumble, the image makes silence itself conspicuous, forcing recognition of how deeply programmed our urban perception is around expecting congestion.
 
Programmed Human is a photographic project that aims to subvert the conventional perception of a bustling modern city. Through a series of cenital landscape photographs, a desolate urban sprawl is revealed, stripped of the usual rush of cars and people. The juxtaposition of emptiness against familiar urban landmarks creates a surreal setting. In this deliberate depiction of abandonment, the project highlights the chaotic and congested symphony that typically envelops city life but often goes unnoticed. The absence of human activity in the images represents the ultimate paradox. By removing the typical visual and auditory markers of a crowded city, the project exposes the invisible layers of noise and disruption that permeate our urban existence.
