The work of Fabiola Torres-Alzaga investigates visual geographies and their thresholds, with a special emphasis on the manifestations of the invisible. Through an interdisciplinary practice, Torres-Alzaga revisits the scenic systems and their spatio-temporal languages ​​of film, theater, and magic, articulating them within an expanded field. Incorporating a queer perspective, Torres-Alzaga is interested in the construction of the illusory image, its censorship and concealment, as well as the lingering ghosts, composing scenes in which not everything present is available to the gaze. Thus, she has created her work in the interstices of what an image explicitly shows and, above all, what surrounds and exceeds it — an imaginary that, through suggestion, recomposes forms and their absences. Torres-Alzaga is interested in creating illusory worlds that can function as parentheses of reality and counter-spaces that reclaim more corners within the patriarchal sphere in order to generate other possible relationships.

Her work has been exhibited at the MUAC (Mexico, 2024), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin, 2024), Museo MACRO (Rome, 2023), Villa Medici (Rome, 2022), MUAC's Sala 10 (Mexico, 2021), the FEMSA Biennial (Zacatecas, 2018), Anthology Film Archives (New York, 2018), Lille 3000 (France, 2019), Bienal de la Imagen en Movimiento (Buenos Aires, 2018), Paul Kasmin Gallery (New York, 2018), Maison des Arts de Malakoff (France, 2016), Moscow Polytechnic Museum (Russia, 2015), MARCO (Monterrey, 2015), Museo del Chopo (Mexico City, 2014), Museo de Arte Moderno (Mexico City, 2014), Laboratorio Arte Alameda (Mexico City, 2011), Center for Contemporary Art (Tel Aviv, 2006), and Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros (Mexico, 2004), among others.

She has published Historias de la noche (ESPAC, 2019), a book/project in dialogue with Mara Fortes; Fabiola Torres-Alzaga: entre actos (Museo Universitario del Chopo, 2015), with texts by Itala Schmelz and Daniel Garza Usabiaga; and Las Desinvitadas (Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, UNAM, 2025), with texts by Virginia Roy and Laura Orozco.
