What a dog might tell us: on photography, perfectibility, and the aesthetics of breed

With artist Jo Longhurst. For several years Jo worked with eminent British Whippet breeders, photographing their dogs by bloodline, exploring their quest for the perfect dog. In this illustrated talk, Jo will discuss the making of The Refusal, the resulting body of work which foregrounds the intimate relationship between human and dog. Her works include photographs, stereoscopic installations and projections, video and performance.

Linked to our Breed: The British & their Dogs exhibition.
