HÉCTOR ZAMORA | 2021
Key of Héctor Zamora’s intervention is a large Austrian Pine in the centre of the walled garden of Gezellehuis. A scaffolding structure that completely wraps the tree reminds us of the strategy that Strangler Trees use to grow in tropical forests. Zamora aims for a clash between the universal symbols of the tree (nature, life,...) and the use of a scaffolding structure (human being progress,...), where the choice for RAL 3024 red luminous accentuate this collision. Climbing the scaffolding allows the visitor to interact in a different way with the tree, with nature and ultimately with himself. Whoever completes the climb will gain a different perspective on the tree and its surroundings, like never before. When it is busy, we close the queue from 5 p.m. and do not allow new visitors to join. In case of bad weather, such as strong winds and torrential rain, the installation may be closed.

Bio
Héctor Zamora
Héctor Zamora wants his work to stimulate the dialogue between art and the general public. His oeuvre is mainly based on interventions that require active participation in performances, installations or films. During the design phase of his installations, Zamora thinks about how viewers or visitors can interact with his works and how this interaction can encourage reflection. By introducing certain, often repetitive actions, unexpected and surprising situations arise that rarely occur in a museum context. The interaction also invites the passer-by to reflect on the everyday use of various materials and the possible roles that a certain space can play. In short, tensions between public and private, exterior and interior, real and imaginary are inextricably linked to Héctor Zamora's oeuvre.
