Terzospazio presents *Tobillo Torcido* – *twisted ankle* – the first solo exhibition of Mexican artist Carlos Antonio Castro Lobato (Mexico City, 2003), curated by Giulia Mariachiara Galiano, with editorial coordination by Giulio Carlo Mazzoni. The exhibition is part of *Farsi Nebula*, a series of encounters that questions the assumptions, automatisms, and hierarchies of institutional dispositifs, opening up zones of opacity and transformation. C.A. Castro Lobato generates fields of tension, both material and immaterial—temporary condensations of forces that converge into works of different natures, dimensions, and medialities. Far from attempting to resolve this tension, the artist highlights its contours, suggesting that every form—and every body—is nothing more than a momentary fixation, a contingent pause within a continuous flow of shifts and transformations. His works reflect the human desire to domesticate bodies and memories through devices of control, archiving, and classification—structures that attempt to fix and render legible what, by its very nature, eludes any definitive stabilization. The title of the exhibition, *Tobillo Torcido*, alludes to an experience that unfolds through deviations, torsions, and detours. The ankle—a hinge that allows the body to articulate itself in space, to move from the vertical to the horizontal axis, and to maintain balance—becomes here a critical device. When the ankle deviates, the body is forced to reorganize and renegotiate its relationship with its surroundings. Likewise, the exhibition disarticulates the exhibition space, establishing a regime of discontinuity that triggers, in the viewer’s experience, a perpetual process of recognition and withdrawal of meaning. “Tobillo Torcido” thus takes shape as an impossible archive: a set of elements that organize themselves through disorganization and are preserved through loss. A space that makes visible the fragility of any attempt at fixation, reiterating a ritual practice of construction and dissolution of form that is at once mournful and generative.
