Her practice combines layering, metonymy, humor, and absurdity to explore themes such as history, memory, ecology, consumerism, love or death. Through the voice of an omniscient alter ego—both naive and incisive—she observes the world with curiosity and disbelief, creating works that oscillate between intimacy and critique, the poetic and the political.
Over the years, Rey’s work has become increasingly collaborative and collective, rooted in the belief that art can open spaces for dialogue beyond the polarized frameworks of contemporary society. Her projects often bring together communities, artisans, and women’s groups, fostering encounters grounded in exchange, empathy, and shared creation.
Her methodology embraces a form of wandering—a slow, intuitive process guided by encounters, chance, and the attentive listening of “small stories” that challenge official narratives. By focusing on overlooked places and minor histories, Rey constructs alternative narratives that question dominant power structures and propose other ways of understanding the world.
