she used to live here
by eva gelman & lu aubin
Eva Gelman (he/she/they) is a Russian-born Jewish artist from Chicago. He spent his first semester and a half at Fordham trying to get out of a writer’s block; the jury is still out on whether he succeeded. When they are not staring at a blank Google Doc, Eva is a theatre directing major and an avid maker of Spotify playlists (@sonic.gelman). You can find more of his face on Instagram @evagelmann.
Lu Aubin (she/they) (b 2001, Hartford Conn) looks to herself and her body for traces of a life not her own. While perpetually separated from their life in dissociations, imposter syndrome, solipsism, they use tactile practices (painting, stamping, and affixing) and a largely lens-based practice in a hybrid of digital and analog methods. The resulting visuals poetics and obsessions—an extension of the artist—tenderly apprehend queer experiences. The visual products and act of making therefore serve as testament of living.
