The Kraszna-Krausz Foundation has revealed the winners of the 2024 Kraszna-Krausz Photography and Moving Image Book Awards
The Kraszna-Krausz Photography and Moving Image Book Awards recognise exceptional contributions to photography and moving image book publishing.
Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award winner
Hristina Tasheva clinched the 2024 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award with her self-published work, Far Away From Home: The Voices, the Body and the Periphery.
Tasheva’s book explores the divergent experiences of the Dutch and Bulgarian societies as they were impacted by communism during the rise and fall of Nazi Germany.
Combining contemporary photography, archival research, and found imagery, the book also features a poignant pressed flower collected from visits to Dachau and Mauthausen concentration camp memorials.
