Eliza Lu Doyle was born in France in 1993 and currently works in New York City. Since graduating from RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) in 2016, she has been working in moving image, performance and research. Eliza is interested in unraveling the conventional relations between director and actor, or documentarian and documented. She collaborates closely with performers whose roles lie outside of the categories of actor or documentary subject. She is particularly interested in hero narratives and expression of masculinity, and has collaborated with bodybuilders, professional wrestlers and fighters, survivalists, dancers, life coaches, reality TV actors, and countless volunteers from the internet. She is a member of the artistic duo My Husband, which is currently making work around Survivalism practices and the enactment/ embodiment of urgency, through the international exhibition platform Project Anywhere (via the New School & University of Melbourne). Eliza recently completed a curatorial residency at Elsewhere, Brooklyn, where she programmed weekly screenings of media art by queer & femme artists. She is also working on a children’s book about the End of the World, with a man in Connecticut whom she has never met in person. Since 2017, she has been running a business-performance-practice in commissioned friendship, giving amateur counseling sessions to clients found through Craigslist.
