“Entrelazar” arises from a trip through a Colombian wasteland. As the fog descended and covered nature, the artist noticed the presence of a series of lines that ran through the landscape: transforming it. It was about the light poles, an element that is repeated serially in the panorama, and that in some way, reveals a different idea of ​​the landscape, where the city “conquers” or rather “replaces” nature.
From this discovery, the artist carried out a study where he let the poles show their parts and generate a tangle of lines, knots and even points that accumulated one on top of the other; revealing this new landscape system.
"Entrelazar" is a photographic project that interweaves the essential elements that have come to light in my research: light, paper and the pole. Leading the artist to reinterpret, through layers of superimposed images, an agglomeration of “electric” lines in the sky.
