Gus Aronson is a double major in Film and Photography at Bard College, and is based between the Bronx and Tivoli, New York.

Gus’ photographic projects are primarily concerned with the nature of photography itself, and more specifically his own relationship to the camera as a therapeutic tool. He is concerned with how the camera reshapes conceptions of memory, and uses photography as way of rejecting the notion that photograph is purely a document of a time past, promoting rather how photographs can function as tarot cards, documents of the present and roadmaps for the future. Gus has contributed to the Washington Post and Serious Eats Magazine, and his work has been featured by Ain't Bad Magazine.

In his film work, throughout his time at Bard, Gus has shot a number of narrative films for other students, as well as a number of his own narrative and experimental projects. Outside of Bard, Gus works closely with filmmakers Ralph Arlyck and Melody London.
