Cataratas
A four part end piece for Josefina Gilardi’s Masters in Music at Music & Technology faculty of HKU.

Part III, ‘Galope, Galope’
Videographic Montage
Part II, ‘Two Hints’
Videographic Montage
In the second track for Josefina's visual EP is Two hints— "The flute as my voice and my voice as the flute." This track layers overtones by subtle blows, harmonic notes and singing while blowing, creating beat frequencies between the flute and the voice.
The visuals interpret silence, liminal tension, love and danger through owls searching, eagles locking talons, a single coiling snake in the desert and Maya Deren's 'At Land' moving backwards.
Part I, ‘Home’
Videographic Montage
In the second track for Josefina Gilardi’s visual EP is La Casa — on of four audiovisual works for Josefina’s masters graduation project in music & technology.
We developed a live set last year and performed in Utrecht. This series was made using a core method of my first video work using found footage, filming my screen with a Nokia N79 and interpreting each track individually.
The project intertwines fiction with biographical elements of her life exploring metaphorical structures that holds us: memories, desires, imagination, hopes; as well as emptiness and grief. It elaborates what support means through the scope of moving image and collaboration, ultimately questioning structures and inhabititation.

“In an imploding world where nothing seems secured to the floor, we ask ourselves, is shit hitting the fan? Has there been any transcendence or enlightenment in the promised land?
The moral high ground has turned on us. What are we supposed to do?”

The Beast takes it upon itself to play with it during performing and attempts to hand it over to any one willing to participate. As the tension of such a transaction is usually deemed tense, the Beast remains masked but intentional and gentle.
My goal was to allow interpretation of the mask to roam free and to prove that we are not at all safe from each other’s faces. This is inspired by writer and theorist Brandon Labelle in his lectures on the other and such concepts of liminality and attention.
This is a full circle performance and photographic series of the concept of the beast previously photographed by Ursula Marcussen and myself. In this series, the Beast, an entity born out of aggression and trauma, has reached peace and therefore invites the public to join on a calmer side of exposure and light, yet combining its inherent tension and abstraction with the movement within the space and the live feed of the camera.

‘BEAUTY STANDARDS’
Videography Edit
In this 4 minute montage ‘BEAUTY STANDARDS’ denotes pop culture chaos and the birth of fast paced imagery through meta-analysis.
While dissension and social algorithms have proved problematic, this montage urges and directs attention to exposure and the beauty owned and shared by women who are often shadowed from sexual and personal freedom by patriarchal and broken societies. Please log in to watch.

‘COLOMBIA’
A cybershot photography series during a three month visit to Medellin, Colombia.
During this three month period I tried to photograph on a small cybershot in black and white, barely in color. The results were tender photographs, some failed yet compulsive and interesting examples of making the system work. The following were the last two pictures I took, before it shut down completely on the heights of Medellin’s valley, on my way to the airport with my father.
Downtown Medellin.
Then a morning, in a finca. I seemed to only be able to talk with two young kittens, and my bed.
My dreams were stronger than the city. I was not protected. Respect was only for the hesitant and civil:
“indígena,
indigente”.
Dreams went on.

Shadow & Myself | S&M
A short film for Rietveld TV broadcasting.Direction & edit by Masha Ryabova
Starring Huub Kooijman and Mayya
Camera & production Lucciana Bolivar, Masha Ryabova
“dear doctor M, maybe you don’t remember me, you being such a big star now, but i remember you! i love your career! i have been following it, and i know all your lines. well you stay up late, you go to bars, you see too many movies, you don’t write to me at all! what do i do now? i am lonely out of my mind! is there a cure? sometimes during after-hours — for fun and no other reason — i fantasise about my blood pouring outwards, an inexhaustible current of red that spread and spreads and spreads until it eventually seeps into every corner of the — all over the world! — signed, Shadow & Myself”
One meaning of the word “monster” is a creature who is entirely self-dependent. In response to the theme of “Third Skin” the episode deals with some of the troubles that plague the linguistic animal, who is constantly in danger of overreaching itself and bringing itself to nothing (in contrast to other mammals, who organise an environment for themselves that does not stretch much beyond their bodies). Loosely based on Cookie Mueller’s advice column, and anchored in personal experiences of isolation and exhaustion, the film follows a protagonist roleplaying the onset and possible resolutions of a health crisis.
P.S. from the curatorial team: works that Masha presented at the Graduation show, stuck in our mind as absorbing and at times repulsive imagery puzzled with words so direct, they get under your skin and make you speechless. We held our breath waiting for Masha’s revealing take on our theme.
