“Collective Bad Luck”
Pip Ryan

Exploring the moving image through video, film, photography and installation, Pip Ryan’s practice essentially involves the mirror and the camera, and the relationship between these two points of view as they are shown in the same frame, emphasising how these perspectives are constructed.

Mirror, movement, destruction, disorientation, distortion and reversion play a significant role within Ryan’s work. These elements are usually explored by filming directly into mirrors, within locations she has encountered in her everyday life, and are recorded on poorly constructed dollies or apparatuses that she has assembled out of junk, hard rubbish, modified robotics, toys and motors.

Pip Ryan is currently completing her Masters of Fine Arts at the Victorian College of the Arts with the assistance of an Australian Postgraduate Award. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally in group and solo exhibitions.
