Daddy’s Girl 

Using Facebook as her main internet search tool, Georgina Kapralou has spent the last few years of the covid pandemic contacting hunters and Plott hound breeders in the USA to find the perfect dog for her dad. 

During her research she comes across an American high school Art teacher who breeds Plott hounds and trains them for bear hunt, as well as families who enjoy hunting together, bringing their children and babies in the hunting field. 

Far from distancing herself from the value systems of cancel culture, Kapralou contacts the hunters and dog breeders her dad suggests, becomes part of online female hunting groups and searches hundreds of Facebook profiles for digital footprint of hunting sharenting in an attempt to illuminate the compulsive behaviour behind family entertainment through the particular sport and the passive-aggressive element of hunting as a child. The research consciously focuses on the photos of young girls hunting because Kapralou is also a hunter’s daughter.

Since 2019, the artist has collected hundreds of family portraits, images and memories of young girls hunting. She has digitally edited and reproduced these memories in a series of lenticular prints.

The Daddy’ Girl exhibition will take place in the popular Greek taverna, ‘To Steki tou Ilia’. A performance will take place during the opening evening of May 15th.
