Sabina Gámez
Sabina Gámez is an MFA Intermedia student and Research Assistant at the Elastic Spaces Lab at Concordia University. Her research and artist practice are centered on understanding the physical, phenomenological experience of embodiment and the way in which the body is understood and contextualized in the media and the environment.
Sabina experiments with different formats and approaches to audiovisual media, including chroma key, projection, and video performance to explore notions of the self, self-recognition, remnants, and embodiment in media. Owing to her Minor in Biology, she is interested in the experimentation and observation of the body and its dynamics with external objects and different phenomena. She creates installations where the subject is transformed, re-contextualized, and its corporeality is explored in relation to the environment.
Her current research takes a multidisciplinary approach, traversing various themes that span from feminist art to ecological considerations, to questions of what it means to have a community, all related to her explorations of materials that range from the virtual realm to the raw matter of the earth.
Sabina is studying in the Department of Studio Arts at Concordia University under the supervision of Dr. Leila Sujir.
