​

C. A. Castro Lobato (Mexico City, 2003) is a Mexican multidisciplinary artist. His practice combines sculpture, drawing, installation, and video. He is currently completing his final year in the Multimedia Arts program at IUAV University of Venice. After relocating to Spain in 2021 and later to Venice in 2023, Castro Lobato began developing a practice deeply rooted in family memory, focusing on the concept of a body within a body—a condition that forms the foundation of his artistic thinking.

His works explore relationships between bodies through shifting tensions and dualities: the Ignorant Body and the Wise Body, the Dynamic Body and the Static Body, the Sleeping Body and the Awake Body. From this exchange of states, his practice emerges as an investigation into presence, absence, and the transformation of anthropological rituals.

work examines the construction of identity as a politicized and socialized territory—a malleable and manipulable material that responds to structures of power and processes of normalization. Within this framework, the body reveals itself as a performative space, a ritual vessel in which the repetition of actions constructs an appearance of normality sustained through constant iteration. Through sculptures and temporary installations, Lobato investigates the processes that shape and generate margins in which categories of bodies and subjectivities are configured. In his work, the need to reclaim the wild emerges as an act of subversion and resistance—a way of withdrawing from narratives of domestication imposed by social norms. In this sense, the wild manifests itself in the interstice between belonging and exclusion.
