Text by Zsófia Somogyi, Lilla Szász

For five years Hungarian photographer Lilla Szász photographed women living in shelter houses. She photographed elderly women, young girls who had become criminal, and homeless mothers. She was interested first and foremost in how women find happiness in these extreme circumstances of life. In Daughters she asked the young girls what the word “beauty” meant for them. The girls then organised the photo shoot; they behaved in front of the camera the way they wished to be seen by the viewer. The outcome is their result, their image: of happiness and a better life.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
