Protogeometries, essay on the anexact
Labor, Mexico City
Hector Zamora recognized in units such as lattice the symptoms of the unstoppable march of the present
From a tense clothesline hang the family sheets as they sway with the wind's come and go. On their white tissue dance the shadows of geometric shapes. Circles within large square and small triangles move in their arabesque progression to the rhythm of the urban breeze. This sunny zotehuela surrounded by latticework, a space typical of social housing in newly urbanized Mexico during the 70s, is the memory that for Hector Zamora (Mexico City, 1974) became a body of work based on the observation and tracking of its basic architectural elements. This architecture, half a century after being projected by individuals, transformed, transferred and mutated following the identity of the people who inhabit it. From India to Istanbul, Sao Paulo to Mexico City, Hector Zamora recognized in units such as lattice the symptoms of the unstoppable march of the present. The title of the exhibition refers to a dual space of possibility in which the test function of the essay, as complement of the theoretical studies, enriches itself by the nuances introduced by Deleuze with the concept 'anexact' to the classical dichotomy -bound to the modern architectural tradition according to Reiser+Umamoto- of the exact-inexact. The anexact as a space of rigorous experimentation is thus established as the axis of the artist's praxis and philosophy.
