Meet the Artist—Héctor Zamora on Lattice Detour

Zamora discusses Lattice Detour, his 2020 Rooftop Commission.

Artist Héctor Zamora discusses Lattice Detour, his site-specific installation for the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden at The Met, with curator Iria Candela. Zamora is known for works that engage public spaces and the built environment. In his practice, Zamora reinvents and redefines conventional exhibition spaces, generating friction between the common roles of public and private, exterior and interior, organic and geometric, real and imaginary.
