Lilly McElroy’s “I Throw Myself At Men” project is now up at the online gallery WIPNY—and I love it. It’s exactly what it sounds like, but here is the artist’s statement: I am, at the moment, part projectile and part foolish romantic. These images are documents of a hopeful and violent gesture, a demand that the possibility of a connection exist. The men often look terrified or at least slightly surprised. My role as aggressor is clear and I think my leaps acknowledge the basic human desire for contact. To date, there have been no major injuries.
