Have I grown up yet?


May 2024
Edition of 25

‘Have I grown up yet?’ is a tangible, interactive, visual experience that allows a glimpse into Lauren’s most intimate moments and memories from the Covid-19 pandemic. Lauren’s archival film photographs and writing depict life as a teenager in a small coastal town off the city of Melbourne, Australia — the most locked down city in the world during the pandemic — and hope to bring a sense of nostalgia and comfort to the viewer.

Risograph and inkjet printed on vellum and transparency paper, including recycled paper inserts from the IDM Design Lab at NYU. Stab-bound by hand with wax thread.
