“I throw myself at men” Lilly McElroy
The gestures that I enact are simultaneously loving and cruel; they are an attempt to discuss the desire and difficulty involved in making a connection and that desire is the crux of my artwork. The end result is often literal and clumsy, a cross between physical comedy and earnest confessional.
The photographs, videos, and installations that I produce, while trying to interact, acknowledge the possibility of failure — that someone might not catch me, that a connection might not be made. It is that possibility that keeps things interesting. In the end, I want to make the viewer laugh, but I want them to understand that there is more at stake, that everyone is implicated – including me.
