Héctor Zamora’s site-specific installation, Lattice Detour, located on the roof of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2020. It opened at the end of August of that year after being delayed when the museum shut down due to the pandemic.

The installation’s curved wall of terra cotta bricks measured at 100 feet long and 11 feet high. The bricks were not solid, as they first appeared, but hollow so viewers could see through to the other side. Throughout the day light would pass through the wall creating different patterns and shadows.
