what i need you to know:
i’m Lara (b. 1997, New Haven, CT).
my rule for my long term photodoc projects is i don’t document any group who wouldn’t consider me to be one of them.
i am currently represented by Eureka! Press in Kingston, NY.
i am open for booking. i like to photograph controlled violence, sexual content, illegal activity, and performance. i do not post my photo work on social media unless my subjects post it first.
due to the sensitive nature of my photos, and wanting to maintain trust and consideration for my subjects, my portfolio from the past year is private. please email directly for a sample of my work. thank you
what i’d like you to know:
In Argentina i documented queer raves in Buenos Aires during Milei’s rise to power and published my first photo book, El Under.
Now i’m living in Queens, where i founded the organization Heaven is and together we stage guerrilla art shows in U-Hauls, laundromats, and other non traditional spaces. we turn them into art places where young artists and performers can show their experimental work in a low-stakes environment.
lately i write and act in performance pieces. i toured earlier this year with lisa carver and friends for a piece she wrote and starred as the lead in maddie kuzak’s play rage bait 2.
i make sculptures, sound art, ceramic pieces, and poems. i will show them to you here. these things used to be my private practices, which have now been replaced by making potions in my room and praying every night
