A performative photographer, Lilly McElroy wanders into bars and asks strange men if she can jump on them. If they say yes, she takes running leaps at them while a friend snaps photographs. I love the guys' awkward stances and nervous expressions. And isn't it cool how she flips around the traditional power dynamic and seems like such a badass? I wrote a piece about Lilly for
Elle Magazine's May issue, and you can check out her addictive
website here. (Also, for you lucky Chicagoens, she's currently having a gallery exhibit at the
Thomas Robertello Gallery. But watch out! She might jump on you, too!)
