A multigenre investigation of the personal and cultural annals of memory, identity, and spectatorship, both on and off the screen.
Masha Tupitsyn è una scrittrice, critica e artista multimediale il cui lavoro si addentra nelle profondità della storia e della narrazione cinematografica. Attraverso i suoi estesi progetti multimediali, come film-saggi e raccolte basate sul cinema, esplora la natura dell'amore, del suono e del tempo all'interno della cinematografia. Il suo approccio è una sintesi di analisi letteraria e arte visiva, che crea esperienze uniche e immersive sia per gli spettatori che per i lettori. Le creazioni di Tupitsyn offrono un esame stimolante di come il cinema plasmi la nostra comprensione dell'emozione umana e della memoria collettiva.



A multigenre investigation of the personal and cultural annals of memory, identity, and spectatorship, both on and off the screen.
Exploring themes of love and identity in the digital age, this book serves as a multi-media blog that blends art, philosophy, and personal reflection. Inspired by Roland Barthes, it reinterprets traditional narratives through a modern lens, presenting a unique take on relationships and female subjectivity. As the second installment in a series of immaterial writing, it combines elements of a love manifesto and philosophical exploration, pushing the boundaries of literary forms and engaging with contemporary modes of expression.
Masha Tupitsyn's Beauty Talk & Monsters is a debut collection of stories told through the movies. Equally influenced by Brian De Palma and Kathy Acker, Tupitsyn revisits the ruins of a childhood and youth nurtured on the fringe of the glittering lower Manhattan art world and the Atlantic haven of Provincetown in the 1980s. Moving fluidly through space, time, and a range of cinematic frameworks, Tupitsyn cuts through the cynical glamour and illusion of Hollywood to a soft, secret heart.Her narrator, a female loner and traveler, is caught in the maelstrom of films and images, where life is experienced through the eye of a camera lens and seen through the light on the screen. In a precise and elegant style, Beauty Talk & Monsters embraces and confronts a lineage of familiar myths and on- and off-screen cinematic excess in order to challenge the silver screen's century of power over our dreams and ideals. Intimate and intellectual, Tupitsyn's stories play with the cinema's most popular icons and images.
