Sabina Gámez Ibarra

In her artwork, Sabina Gámez focuses on the body and its relation to scale, representation, digitalization and interaction with the environment. She questions the notion of mutability and the possibility of a subject transforming under the lenses of perspective and context. She is driven to disappear and merge herself with the environment, creating illusions, and recording shadows of bodies that are no longer there. She 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 studies 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.

Sabina Gámez is an audiovisual artist with an undergraduate degree in arts, focused on electronic media, and a minor degree in biology from Universidad de Los Andes (COL). Currently, she is pursuing her MFA in Intermedia at Concordia University (CA).

She has participated in several international exhibitions including, RESET at Factible, in Mexico City in 2021, and the Abierto Mexicano de Diseño with the collective Birula Gráfica in Mexico City in 2020. In 2018 she participated in the International photo exhibition of the Incheon Marine Festival of Film in South Korea, and in 2016, she participated in La Muerte Chimba, her first international exhibition, at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana de México. Her art practice includes video installation, photography and video performance, through which she expresses her interest and questions about the body and its relation with the environment and media.
