Dominique Rey produces photographs, collage, sculpture and video informed by the history of a place, or by the influence of the human in collision with the monumental in the built world. Rey works with the effects of time and decay on the architecture of a landscape. The work is inspired by growth, war, death and the transience of life, along with notions of an afterlife or paradise that often accompany this. Using found imagery and photographs, etched glass or textile patterns from Islamic and British sources, Rey captures the transformation of environments as they move between the dystopian and utopian. Recent obsessive interests include WW2 defence structures, Persian gardens and garden pavilions and camouflage. Current literary influences include Paul Virilio, Iranian poets such as Farough Farokhzhad, Hafez and Saadi, Sir Thomas Browne, and Owen Hatherley's writing on modernist architecture.
