Summary:

Fabiola Torres-Alzaga explores those spaces of invisibility in the act of seeing, as well as the sociopolitical repercussions and connotations. Her work seeks to disarticulate strategies of visual representation that arise in the expanded space of theater and cinema in order to include these veiled places onstage: What do we see and what remains outside the frame? Making use of the queer theory and sexual dissidence, the artist fosters inclusive counterspaces that allow for diverse imagery. "The Uninvited" suggests a phantasmal space inside a house, following the aesthetics of film noir. The artist built a set especially for the filmed shot, producing spatial fragments of the inhabitable. Torres-Alzaga's interest lies in intertwining visual glazes with spectral aspects of gothic literature, which film has taken up through the horror genre and the use of the figure of the ghost-diaphanous and difficult to perceive-as a dweller in the crevices of the establishment. An absent presence in which dissident bodies could generate other ways of perceiving.
