Honorable Mention
Kakemono
Grzegorz Piaskowski, Poland
Kakemono
DESCRIPTION
The Vistula is the largest Polish river. It flows through the very center of our country. From the mountains to the sea. When I rode my bicycle to work over the bridge, it was still freezing, but the temperature was rising quickly, giving that magical effect of a mixture of ice and steam. I took the photo in Plock. The photograph refers to the aesthetics of Japanese vertical painting - kakemono.
AUTHOR
Ethnologist and photographer.

My photographs are in museum collections of art, were displayed at many exhibitions, including the Polish national gallery (Zachęta).
I am the winner of dozens of photo contests.

In 2015, I was a winner (24 hours category) of Urban Photographer of the Year. The photo was among the best works awarded in the most important photographic competitions in the world. The ranking was prepared by Matthew Tucker - photo editor portal BuzzFeed.com. In 2016, I was the laureate of the international contest ImAge Photography Award.

I work at the museum. I am the author of a permanent museum exhibition about Buddhism. It was opened last year in Mazovian Museum in Płock (Poland).
