OF DOGS AND DAUGHTERS: BETWEEN SURROGATE AND SELF by Simona Koutná

110 x 170mm, 64 pages, Black & white printing, Perfect bound, Softcover, 2024

Of Dogs and Daughters brings a compelling record of female artists and
writers, whose voices have been documented and collected through
friendships and chance encounters. Combined with found material that
proposes dog-human perspectives, this book attempts to redefine the
mother-daughter relationship through a surrogate lens, exploring
images of closeness, of anxieties conjured up by film franchises and
mechanisms of nostalgia aimed at caregivers and children.
The contributions by artists Carmen Dusmet Carrasco and Simona Koutná,
and writer Susan van Veen are complemented by the introspections of
memoirist Giuseppa and interlaced with passages from the novel The
Hundred and One Dalmatians (1956) by Dodie Smith. Each voice
represents a unique personal account against a backdrop of deficient
social support, single parenthood and absent caregivers.
