Aldo Álvarez Tostado

Aldo Álvarez Tostado’s practice understands identity as a malleable fiction, one that he continuously reconfigures to narrate his own fictional nation-state.

In Terreno de juego, the artist introduces a regulation-sized football pitch into the exhibition space, activated collectively through play as ritual, shared language, and mechanism of power.

The installation reflects on football’s role as a tool for social cohesion and as a promise of socioeconomic development, at a critical moment for both our city and the world.

The ball is in the air—who’s winning?
