Héctor Zamora is a Mexican artist based in São Paulo, Brazil. Working extensively in public space, the artist creates major works that often rearticulate the physical characteristics of a specific urban or architectural environment. Creating structures that enhance or highlight particular characteristics or patterns of social use of that space and environment, the artist often utilises materials that also carry a particular resonance within that location.
Zamora often draws the local community into the process of not only experiencing the work of art, but also as a part of the creation. The artist reimagines these public spaces through the implementation of sculptural additions made from materials with a specific significance within each site to interact with the community consciousness.
Héctor Zamora has worked extensively in public space, creating major works for, among others, the Liverpool Biennial in 2010 and the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009.
