CURATORSHIP: Gonzalo Ortega

MARCO presents a retrospective exhibition of Héctor Zamora (Mexico City, 1974), featuring numerous works created over the course of twenty years. Titled RE/VUELTA, the exhibition explores various thematic and technical axes that have characterized his work since its beginnings, establishing him as one of Mexico’s most prominent contemporary artistic voices within an international context.

Through his work, Zamora engages with the city as if it were a macro-organism; he investigates public spaces, peripheral growth, and various inhabitable environments based on social and political variables. He works with space, creating pieces that blur the boundaries between art and architecture. In his installations, elements from diverse disciplines converge, often inspired by iconic construction materials.

The installations in the exhibition are agile structures that draw from a specific historical, socioeconomic, and cultural context, while also allowing for multiple interpretations. His interventions in public spaces—often large-scale—transcend conventional exhibition spaces, reinventing and redefining them. At the same time, they challenge the viewer, combining aesthetics, critique, and humor, while prompting reflection on the everyday uses of materials and spatial functions.*
