Photo: Lilly McElroy
Lilly McElroy throws herself into her art project – literally! For her "I Throw Myself At Men" series, Lilly photographs herself leaping into the arms of male strangers in bars and restaurants (most of them looked like they were going to catch her!): Link [Flash] – via shape+colour

What an imbecile. Aside from making an ass of herself and dodging a real job, she could be injuring a guy who has already a bad back. And she’s no beauty so am sure these guys are NOT thrilled.

In the bars I’ve been in, instead of ‘performance art’ we call that ‘the incredibly drunk annoying slut that no one wants to have wrapped around them anyway…’
….wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole.

hmm. I think the idea is cool, but the execution is horrible. The photos don’t look professional at all. Perhaps if she cut out herself and the receiver in each photo and made a collage of sorts, it’d be much better. As the photos look now, she just comes off as being a little too schnockered.
Although, I think the first two comments were unnecessarily harsh. Especially since they call her an ugly slut.

@badgirl
Um. It looks as though she talked to these guys before she “threw” herself at them. If they had a bad back, I don’t think they’d participate. Furthermore, how do you know she doesn’t have a day job as well as doing her art?
You are the one who comes off as a judgmental imbecile.
badgirl
Well “mattie” you come off as someone who has no taste and
no sense of judgment, which is why this world is so screwed up to start with. This is not “art”. Certainly hope you didn’t reproduce.

Let’s see if I can do art too…
“Easy as falling of a log”; pictures of me falling off logs.
“Light at the end of the tunnel”; pictures of me in train tunnels.
“On the level”; pictures of me measuring things with a level.
“More than one way to skin a cat”; pictures of me…

I agree this is rather retarded but…yeesh some of ya’ll are harsh.
Lighten up guys if you want to flame war, go to 4chan

She should just walk around with a big sign reading “I NEED ATTENTION!!!”.

If someone threw themselves at me, I don’t care how attractive they are, I’d have a cop cuff them and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

And if a guy did this, he would certainly be charged with assault. There’s a fine line between art and stupidity; sometimes no line at all.
ted
Would have been more interesting if she did “I throw myself in front of trains”.
Parker
It’s a statement apparently lost on the majority of you all. The guys volunteer to partake so the whole assault and backbreaking accusations are stupid. Learn to read.

wow thats weird, the pic of herself laying on the floor of a laundromat is the place I regularly do my laundry. (unless of course there is another laundromat somewhere that is absolutely identical to the one I use)
critical
Not to change the subject, but it’s nice how her website is all in flash so you have to wait like 3 seconds for each individual pic to load.
Since this isn’t 4chan I won’t bother naming above commenters who need to get laid. YKWYA.

I do hope she never tries this with me! She may not realize that some people have unapparent back and/or neck injuries. I would try to avoid her ‘leap’ so as to avoid injury to my already fragile back. But if that were not possible I may have to resort to more drastic measures. If her leap was quite sudden it could be construed as an attack, causing the victim to react defensively.
The Slapster
RTFA people, and quit bitching about your back/front/side injuries. Christ, I found it mildly amusing even if it’s not “high art” it was clever. Can’t that be enough?
