Añadidura 102 employs urban lamppost photography to deconstruct Bogotá's repeated vertical elements—allowing lamppost to display its parts generating tangle of lines, knots, and accumulated points. Rey layers these deconstructed forms to create new landscape system where utilitarian infrastructure becomes abstract compositional study. The work transforms mundane urban furniture into complex visual field, emphasizing how repetitive elements that rise above cityscape contain potential for intricate formal relationships when isolated and examined.
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.”
