Ezra Blumenfeld, a 17-year-old artist from Brooklyn, is bringing their image from digital screens to city streets with a new poster campaign. According to Brooklyn Paper, Blumenfeld’s high-fashion-inspired self-portrait, emblazoned with the phrase ‘PUTTING MYSELF OUT THERE,’ is set to appear at 80 to 100 locations across New York City.

The project aims to challenge how New Yorkers think about fame, identity, and connection. Blumenfeld’s work, described as queer public art, steps outside gallery spaces and into public view, inviting passersby to reconsider the boundaries between personal expression and collective experience. Details on the exact installation sites or timeline have not been specified, but the campaign is poised to make its mark across neighborhoods in the coming weeks.
