Miss Universe
Sabrina Labis
Artist and filmmaker Sabrina Labis (born 1990 in Zurich, Switzerland) explores concepts and processes of digital images and the power structures behind them. In this exhibition, she addresses historically conditioned sexism in science and technology and its manifestation in the transfer of knowledge. At the centre of the exhibition is a newly produced video work in which a performer translates O B A F G K M into body movements. The letters stand for a classification scheme for stars. To this day, the sexist mnemonic ‘Oh, be a fine girl! Kiss Me!’ is used to remember the sequence. In an interplay of body, architecture and language, Labis experiments with alternative mnemonics that reverse power relations and create new associative connections.
