RietveldTV by Masha Ryabova: S&M
“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.
This episode was produced for the RietveldTV season 23/24: The Third Skin.
The RietveldTV curatorial team 23/34 were: Feliz Aaliyah Sanchez Buitrago (Fashion), Mayya Kuznetsova (Fine Arts), Jiyeon Izzy Lee (VAV - moving image) and Karolina Hyun Wilting (VAV - moving image). Coordinators: Rabea Ridlhammer and Vere van Hal (Public & Projects).

RietveldTV
RietveldTV is Gerrit Rietveld Academie’s monthly TV show. It is broadcast every last Sunday at 10pm by SALTO1 and afterwards forever online on Vimeo. Every month an alum is invited to use the set frame of a 12-minute episode for the development of a new moving image work. Since 2023, every academic year a curatorial team consisting of four students from different departments and academic years is found through an Open Call. The team is guided in their collective process by Public & Projects and a RietveldTV coordinator who is also a Rietveld alum.
Dit programma wordt gemaakt door Gerrit Rietveld Academie.
