About
Dylan Rubin is a Chicago based artist from Yonkers, New York working between photography, sculpture, and photo-installation. Through fragmented self-portraiture, they examine the body’s constant flux alongside the shifting nature of architectural decay in the urban environment. By collapsing the lines between privacy and publicity, and destruction and evolution, their work speaks to the temporality of our physical bodies as structures in a constant cycle of change.Education
