A fictional literary-photographic-comic documentary by the performer Miřenka Čechová about Mckenzie Tomski, who falls in love with the city of New York, where she is a foreigner. Miss AmeriKa is the work of Miřenka Čechová, the photographer Vojtěch Brtnický and the Malaysian cartoonist Chin Yew: a symbiosis of experimental text, photographs and comics. The illegal New York immigrant Mckenzie Tomski comments sarcastically and uncompromisingly on her encounters with New York, its people, its trends and herself.

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.
