Live performance by Sabina Gamez

Sabina Gámez is an audiovisual artist currently pursuing her MFA in Intermedia at Concordia University (CA). She holds a Bachelor of Arts, focused on electronic media, with a minor in biology from Universidad de Los Andes (COL, 2018).
Her research and artistic practice explore the experience of embodiment and how the body is perceived and recontextualized in digital media and the environment. She creates video collages, video installations, and video performances using different formats and approaches to audiovisual media, including chroma key and Virtual Reality to examine themes of self, self-recognition, and remnants in digital media. She is interested in studying the body and its interactions with external phenomena, creating installations where the subject is transformed, re-contextualized, and its corporeality is explored in relation to the environment.
Her most recent research investigates the multi-dimensional role of the sun, examining its geopolitical, social, and environmental implications. She explores alternative practices inspired by the sun, adopting a Symbiocene approach that emphasizes a positive revaluation of our relationship with the world and its influence on human and ecological systems. Her work is informed by Solarpunk theories framing solar energy as a guide to re-evaluate pressing climate and social crises.
Her work in Angles of Consequence continues this investigation through a performance-installation developed for the path of the East Energy pipeline, which was cancelled thanks to Indigenous resistance (the Wolastoq Nation, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Kanesatà’ke Mohawk, as well as the Iroquois Council and the Assembly of First Nations Quebec and Labrador), using mirrors, lenses and reflective solarpunk-inspired armours, to explore the sun’s role in shaping ecological and cultural systems. Her work has been exhibited in Colombia, Mexico, South Korea, and Canada.
