As Amit Elkayam’s photo series “Big Dog in a Big City” shows, it is an endearing kind of insanity to want to own a hulking canine in a place like New York City.
One day nearly a decade ago, when she was nineteen years old and living with her parents in Flatbush, Brooklyn, Kristina Justice fell in love with an abandoned Great Dane at a veterinary clinic in Sheepshead Bay. The dog was speckled with black-and-white harlequin spots, making it look like a supersize Dalmatian.
The Great Dane, originally bred in Germany to hunt wild boars and small bears, is a famously gentle breed. The dogs’ life spans are substantially shorter than those of smaller breeds—around eight years. It is nevertheless an endearing kind of insanity to want to own one in New York City, where, according to a recent study, the average apartment is under nine hundred square feet. Justice bought a Jeep Wrangler to transport Hendrix from place to place.
It was at one of these gatherings, last year, that the twenty-two-year-old Israeli photographer Amit Elkayam first met Hendrix. After a stint in the Israeli Army, where he was a photojournalist, Elkayam had moved to New York to study at the International Center of Photography.
In Elkayam’s series “Big Dog in a Big City,” Hendrix takes on an almost human quality, as if she were simply a third member of Justice and Smith’s domestic partnership, gathering to blow out candles on a birthday cake or primping for a night out. We see Hendrix bathing with Justice and staring in a mirror as Justice applies lipstick and Smith plucks her eyebrows.
